Example of Tactile Design:

Digital Clock

The following points indicate the braille code, format rules, and design techniques that were used for this tactile graphic example.

• Nemeth braille code
• placement of labels outside the perimeter or outline, lined up with time inside (2.1)
• use of outline image around time (2.6, 6.1.2.2) It is acceptable to use either braille dot symbols or other outline techniques for grades 4 and up.
• placement of graphic in cell 3 as spatial material (2.7)
• simplification from three-dimensional to two-dimensional (2.10, 3.6.2, 6.11.2.7)
• use of blank space of 1/8 inch (3 millimeters) between labels and outline (3.4.3.12)
