Helping blind parents to teach their sighted children to read.

We Write

000230

There’s a hold-up on this project.  We need a 3D surface print on 2D paper. Can anyone help?

We have written the story of Cinderella using only a few words so that on printing, it needs only a few pages.  This adaptation of Cinderella is the first in the World to include raised fonts  – both Braille and Moon, along with raised image outlines so as to help blind parents teach their sighted children to read.

We worked together with Pete Stonehouse at Acuitydesign.eu to produce these double braille books – doubly useful because they use both Braille and Moon fonts.

Pete produced both raised fonts by building up several layers of spot thermography but this warps the paper and is also a costly way to print it.  So can anyone help us to build raised braille using a 3D printer so that the dots stay fixed to the paper?

The production method we need to find must make it possible to outline the illustration as well as both fonts. Regular braille printers cannot achieve this.

Please contact me or Pete at Acuity Design if you have any thoughts that may help this very useful reading project.

Thanks.

Grant

Compared with today’s HTML5ed web sites, my 2016 archived site looks prehistoric.

Where Are They Now?

“Grant’s social media skills are well…not what you might think of when you hear the word social media. His social media skills are the ones that sustain all those platforms. Grant is a connection – nurturer, he has developed his unique and amazing warm way of staying in contact with the people in his network. That is a social media software skill in my book.

Second, he still has the same website with pages and pages of blog entries. Social Media CONSISTENCY has yet to be invented! I just did and Grant is proving it.

Presenting oneself, and any business endeavour in the virtual world, and in such a consistent way, confirms how Grant values the people factor over the profit factor. That makes him all the more reliable in doing business with.”
