Contos bilíngues: contribuições do design na ampliação da acessibilidade para a comunidade surda

Abstract

The present study proposes the construction of a collection of short stories in Libras with translation into Portuguese with design contributions valuing the reading and visual experience, respecting the readers' mother tongue. Three short stories by deaf authors were selected in order to promote and bring visibility to productions that express deaf culture, bringing light to the literary productions of this community. The editorial project relies on techniques that involve accessing content through QR CODE, leading from the book to the video. In this way, we can address and mitigate the difficulties that the deaf community presents in understanding written productions, in addition to proposing new tools that meet these demands, which will allow a better experience and understanding for all readers, fluent or not fluent in the Portuguese language. The project uses the methodology developed by Bruno Munari, with the phases that better help to define the project's path. At the end, a book was created and the model was validated for potential users.
