The aim of this project is to improve the readability of newspapers for people with
reading difficulties due to dyslexia. The research deals, a.o. with studies on layout
and typography for people with dyslexia, as well as the design of newspapers.
Quantitative and qualitative research tools such as self-initiated interviews and a
survey were used to gain new insights into accessible newspaper design.
The knowledge gained from the theoretical and practical investigation allows the
conclusion to be drawn that a special approach to text and layout in newspaper
design plays an essential role in readability for people with dyslexia. In summary,
it can be said that the final newspaper design for people with dyslexia showed
positively reassuring results in a feedback situation.
