Hello @lopezbreit Thank you for your translations and supplying the .ai file. These are great :)

Although I appreciate you removing the colour background in the main title to improve contrast, unfortunately, this kind of contrast- using pure white background against black text- can be problematic, especially for dyslexic users who may be sensitive to the brightness those high contrast colours cause. This can make the words swirl or blur together. An off-white, tan or softer colours in the background would work better.

The vertical line reinforces and makes the Dos and Don't columns much more clearer. We had early versions of these posters that were tested with some users and found they were overwhelmed by all the content and didn't know where to look. We since reduced the number of advice on each poster and the vertical line made the differences more clearer.

Hope that helps? Where you've adjusted to the grid layout and using 'yes' or 'no' is perfectly acceptable as an alternative of 'do' and 'don't'.. and I like how you were able to use a metaphor that makes sense in Spanish as opposed to the cats and dogs 👍

Hi @lopezbreit Apologies for the delay as I'm out of the country now. Before we can merge the pull request, can you make the changes mentioned above so they can be more accessible and we'll merge. Thanks! :)

Hi @karypun, Many thanks for the feedback! I was trying to upload them today but internet went down. I´d just committed them. You´ll find now a new version according to your comments. Best!, Tam.
