Example of Tactile Graphic Design:

Patterns

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

• Nemeth braille code
• use of “In” uncontracted next to opening transcriber's note symbol (Nemeth limits the use of some contractions next to grouping symbols such as transcriber's note symbols.) (2.3)
• simplification of hundreds chart (3.6)
• description of clowns within surrounding text; therefore, no description in transcriber's note necessary (5.4.2)
• description of print hundreds chart in transcriber's note: number of columns and rows, numbering system (5.6.1)
• omission of numbers within the hundreds chart explained in transcriber's note (5.6.1.3)
• use of point symbols in key listing to represent different features in chart (red nose, glasses, every 6th number) (5.7.1.3, 5.8.4.3, 5.8.4.4, 5.9.3)
• placement of transcriber's note symbol before the transcriber's note starts and after the last symbol in the key (5.8.4.1)
