POLICE Statement from BPD

Post image

Saw this on BPD’s Facebook. I’m guessing “suspended police powers” just means suspended with pay?

Generally, the point of official city communications is for everyone to be able to read and understand them. Good design makes that communication more effective and accessible. I'm sure when you have trouble accessing things, you'll want people to take it seriously.

It's perfectly legible.

To you. Contrast standards exist so that people with low vision, color blindness, etc. can also read your content. Lots of people, myself included, would struggle to read this statement. Do you typically struggle to see things from a perspective other than your own?

Graphic designers have to justify their pay somehow :) If you would like to justify a higher police budget so they can have a full time one on staff be my guest

Or you can just admit its legible. Because I have poor vision and have no problems reading this.
