This image above popped up for me a few weeks ago on Facebook. A fun image, but oh boy is it hard to read!
So what’s the problem?
The image in the background makes the text very difficult to read. There are a number of reasons why including the amount of detail in the picture distracts from the text and there isn’t enough contrast between the text and image (contrast is the difference between dark and light).
The main issue with the text is that capital letters are harder to read (especially at a glance) for many people than lower case.
It’s a cute message, so I had a go at making the more inclusive, accessible versions below. Would you change anything else?
The first one you made is my favorite! It’s easier to read and I like the swishy lines.
Thanks Jenna, that’s my fave too!
