Jo, Mike and Eden's Matt Hocking put the finishing touches to the Braille menusBraille/Large Print Menus

The Trust wanted to eCornwall Blind Association Chairman, Geoff Vanner tries out the Braille menusxplore ways of providing this information in a clear, consistent manner. However it was vital to maintain the fun and funky messaging used at Eden. Working with the graphics team at Eden and the RNIB, the Trust installed pilot Braille/large print menus in one of the main restaurants in the visitor centre.

The trial ran from the 9th until the 20th of December. The menus are being user tested by Braille readers, and following successful feedback (we hope!) their design will become the foundation for more menus to be installed throughout the site.
