Icons
Example of how we use icons in lesson plans
Guide to using icons accessibly – Your content should be navigable by people whether or not they can see the icons – Make icons accessible for people using a screenreader by adding consistent alt text to describe them – Consider colour contrast – make your icons clearly visible against the background – Only use icons when they genuinely enhance the content. Don’t overuse icons or add them for the sake of it – Don’t overwhelm the design with icons. Don’t make them too large – Leave enough breathing space between icons and other elements – Use a visually consistent size, style, and colour of icon throughout the piece or series – Check that your icons haven’t become stretched – Never use icons with drop shadows or outlines
