    Ensuring all functions (like menus, forms, buttons) are accessible via keyboard without requiring a mouse.

  4. Text Alternatives for Images

    People that a hard of seeing, and/or are blind, and hearing benefit alot from these descriptions to perfectly tell what exactly they are looking or trying to hear.

  6. Readable and Understandable Content

    High contrast and not using color alone to convey meaning ensures visibility. This helps people with color blindness or low vision can still understand important cues.

    Sites that adapt to different screen sizes and allow zooming without breaking layout, so users with vision impairments who rely on magnification or use mobile devices.

Analyze them as a set: Write down the first words or feelings that come to mind for each piece, then look for patterns. Do certain adjectives repeat? Do you see a consistent color scheme or subject matter? Next, ask a friend or classmate to view the collection and describe what they  feel  is  your  voice or style. Compare it with your own impressions. This inventory will help you identify elements that already make your voice distinctive.
