Responder Icons: General and positioning
Emmanuelle Gutiérrez y Restrepo Very good election. Theire position is good too.
Brent Bakken I think the addition of the iconography to the Tips pages has a large impact on ease of navigation and intuitiveness of the site. I like the location of the icons on each individual tip page and in the right side box navigation menu.

On the overview page, I think the icons would be better either centered over the title or to the left of each title. I don't like the look of it above and to the left.
Vicki Menezes Miller Excellent. I really like the approach with the icons.
I really like the way the icons are placed in the side navigation.
I like the icon placed before the heading of the page
Shadi Abou-Zahra I like the tips very much.
Melody Ma
Eric Eggert I like them as they are, very consistent, good to read, nice eye catchers. The eval one can be changed, but I don’t think it is a must.
Shawn Lawton Henry I like having them!

On the overview page, I think they should be centered above the rest of the centered text.

Responder Designing Icon
Emmanuelle Gutiérrez y Restrepo
  • It's OK - although another one might be better.
 I like it in theire context. But maybe there are another more expressive.
Brent Bakken
  • It's OK - although another one might be better.
 Is there a protractor/ruler combination icon that could be used?
Vicki Menezes Miller
  • Yes - Use this icon!
Shadi Abou-Zahra
  • It's OK - although another one might be better.
 I like Brent's idea of a ruler and protractor in addition to the paintbrush.
Melody Ma
  • Yes - Use this icon!
Eric Eggert
  • Yes - Use this icon!
Shawn Lawton Henry
  • Not really - I think we can come up with a better one.
 The paintbrush conveys visual design, whereas I think a lot of the tips are for user interface design.
UPDATE 18 June: I do like a paintbrush over a computer monitor. I'd check "Yes - Use this icon!" for that.

Responder Evaluating Icon
Emmanuelle Gutiérrez y Restrepo
  • Yes - Use this icon!
 Is perfect!
Brent Bakken
  • It's OK - although another one might be better.
 I like it. A little beetle crawling through all of the site pages doing an evaluation of what is there.

But at the same time, I understand Shawn's concern with it being a bug as well.
Vicki Menezes Miller
  • It's OK - although another one might be better.
Shadi Abou-Zahra
  • Yes - Use this icon!
 Evaluation *should* be bug-checking because all developers and authors implemented accessibility. A checkbox sends out the wrong message IMO.
Melody Ma
  • Not really - I think we can come up with a better one.
 Evaluating could be a check mark in a check box for a more positive connotation. Bugs are only relevant to QA.
Eric Eggert
  • It's OK - although another one might be better.
 I am not married to the bug ;-) I think one of the alternatives we discussed last week could work as well.

From the choice here in http://w3c.github.io/wai-quick-start/sample.html I like the first one and the last one as also working very well.
Shawn Lawton Henry
  • So-so - I'd like to explore other ideas.
 I think most people don't think of evaluating for accessibility as looking for bugs. (maybe would be good if they did, but I don't think they do.)
UPDATE 18 June: I appreciate the concerns with a checkbox, and so I agree we shouldn't use that. I do not object to the bug. I do think many people won't get it (even most EOWG folks didn't) and so it's worth a little effort to try to find something else.

 Probably is the best, but... maybe there another one more adequate.

 This can be a half person icon as in a "manager".
Eric Eggert
  • Yes - Use this icon!
Shawn Lawton Henry
  • It's OK - although another one might be better.
 I'm fine with it. I don't think we need to spend time working on another one. (however, if someone had other ideas, it's be good to consider them.)

 previous comment: I'm a bit concerned that a megaphone would have negative connotations for some people.
UPDATE 18 June: I really like the "analog" megaphone. And it seems to represent even better the positive aspects EOWG discussed on 12 June. So I changed my answer to Yes for an analog (but not the electric one).
