DESCRIPTION:Capability loss simulation has great potential to improve the 
 inclusivity of designs\, through helping designers to understand the needs
  of people with reduced capabilities. However\, its uptake in the design i
 ndustry has been low\, particularly in graphic design. This may be partly 
 due to a poor fit between design tools and the work processes and tool req
 uirements of designers.\nThis study aimed to address this by seeking desig
 ners' input into the design of concepts for vision loss simulation. Five d
 esign workshops were conducted\, each with one or two graphic designers. I
 n each\, participants were given a list of requirements for simulator tool
 s\, summarised from previous studies\, as well as 15 cards describing a ra
 nge of simulator concepts. They then developed their own concept and expla
 ined the reasoning behind it.\nIn this talk I will explain the methods use
 d\, and present and analyse the concepts produced by the designers. This w
 as work conducted by Katie Cornish for her PhD and written up by Katie Cor
 nish and myself for a conference paper.\n
