The issue contains 19 “bright, beautiful and impressive” stories of designers, athletes, artists and other professionals with special needs.
Vogue said it would send the magazine in Braille free of charge to readers who signed up on the site and officially certified that they have vision problems. The new number can also be downloaded for free.
Sinead Burke, CEO of accessibility consultancy Tilting the Lens, commented on the release of the new issue of the gloss, saying that “British Vogue’s special May magazine is just the beginning, not the destination.”
The typeface was designed in 1824 by the Frenchman Louis Braille. He was not a doctor or a scientist, but he directly encountered the problem of blindness. Braille was the son of a shoemaker and at the age of three he was injured with a saddlery knife in his father’s workshop. The child developed inflammation – and he lost his eye. The infection managed to spread to the intact eye, and by the age of five, Braille was completely blind. At the age of 15, Louis created a raised-dot typeface that would allow information to be perceived with the touch of the hands.
He used six slots (dots) in the sheet, which were arranged in two columns. Such a text was written on the reverse side of the sheet, and when it was turned over, one could feel the bulge of the dots. Accordingly, the text was written from right to left.
Features of Braille writing are ignoring capital letters, the absence of a space after a comma, a space before a dash, the use of the same character to denote similar punctuation marks.
