Today I want to talk about good and bad title card design #UXaccessibility. Titles need to be readable for people with low vision or color blindness. Let’s look at a few good and bad examples on #DisneyPlus

So let’s start looking at some good examples… why these work large text size, good color contrast, bold simple readable fonts, and no text layered over a busy image.

However these practices are not applied the same to all title cards.
1. Just beyond has a white glow that makes it hard to make out the BE. 2. Red Green colorblindness may make the Spider-Man card difficult 3. The subtitles on Summer of Soul are too small

Yesterday Disney added Parallels which I think may be the worst one yet as it breaks several rules… 1. Tiny & thin font is difficult to read 2. Light blue on blue is poor contrast 3. Layering text over a busy image 4. Using the light slash to replace letter, reads like para els

I think the first thing to fix this issue I would suggest graying out the card when you hover over it and display a clear title or adding a little expanded title card underneath. I compared this with Netflix and HBOmax… and they are not great at making accessible cards either.
