Need to determine specifications for images (in items) #37

Open dnshah opened 7 years ago

dnshah commented 7 years ago

We need to figure out what requirements images need to meet as we have many items that include graphs. I don't know how to do this except to be able to load up a bunch of images on the student app and try to back out specs from there. Is that basically what you guys are thinking? We know that we are going to have to recreate images, but want to figure this out before we start cloning a bunch of stuff. @luwen-huang @cjshawMIT

@dnshah , not sure I completely understand your question. One thing for sure that images should have is alt-text (for accessibility), though how you might describe a graph without giving away the answer is, I think, an art form. Can you please give examples / clarify what kind of requirements you're thinking about?

Wondering about overall dimensions of image, what would be too big/too small on screen. I know some students commented about some images being too big, but I think we're erring on making them too big right now b/c we didn't know what size to make them. Also wondering what line thickness might be appropriate, font size, etc. Don't know what the interplay b/w those kinds of details and the expand/shrink features in the app will be. And then for the web app, I guess students wouldn't be able to expand/shrink???
