    Captioning Sucks!

    The Open & Closed Project is a new research project aimed to improve quality, by setting standards for accessible media.

    They’re going to create, develop, and test, captioning standards; as well as train pactitioners in the area of standards for captioning, audio description, subtitling, and dubbing.

    We helped them create a “microsite.” It made an immediate and long standing impression with the visitors, by using bold design (that engages, and also hints at the correlation between bad captioning and questionable design).
