Stourhead seasonal trail

Technical notes

The final trail was made available in the following formats

• Plain English
• Widgit symbols
• Braille
• Audio
  

The paper version was produced in A5 format to make it easy to carry. The design was in black and white so that the trail could be printed with an ordinary office printer. Illustrations were used throughout to support the identification of stops along the trail and were line drawings that were designed to provide maximum contrast.

In addition we used the following guidelines:

• Body text 14pt
• Title text 18pt
• Lots of white space between text and pictures
• Keep the layout and language simple

Braille

The Braille guide was produced by the National Trust in association with the RNIB. For more information contact the National Trust through the Stourhead web site.

Widgit

The Widgit symbol assisted version was made by Sensory Trust in association with Widgit. The final guide can be printed in black and white on a standard office printer. Software and training from Widgit will allow National Trust staff to create further guides and to provide Widgit versions of updated guides. More information at www.widgit.com

Audio

The audio guide was produced and recorded by the National Trust in association with the RNIB. For more information contact the National Trust through the Stourhead web site.
