Exhibit Design Relating to Low Vision and Blindness: What Visitors with Vision Loss Want Museums and Parks to Know about Effective Communication

Title and label placement

Everyone expected the title to be at the top and center of the map. However, it was at the bottom of the map and most people either missed it or didn’t find it until the end of their exploration. The interviewer noted participants tended to start in the center of the map and once oriented they read it from left to right starting at the top. Place labels did not appear in a consistent position. The labels were to the left, or above, or below the place it identified.
