UX Wisdom - Understanding Color Blindness

Continuing with the theme of accessibility and inclusive design, this week we will explore the topic of color blindness. Approximately 300 million people, or 4.5% of the world's population, have some form of color blindness. While genetics is the main cause, chronic illnesses like diabetes, multiple sclerosis, strokes, certain medications, and advanced age can also contribute. Color blindness occurs when cone cells (photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision in the eye's retina) are either absent or lacking proper function.

NFT Fundraising Guide for Nonprofits

A non-fungible token, or NFT for short, is a unique asset on the blockchain. NFTs possess individual identification codes that authenticate and distinguish them from other tokens. More simply put, NFTs are a new way to prove ownership of a digital object like a JPEG of an original artwork, a piece of real estate (virtual or physical), or even an MP3 of a song. Because these files exist on the blockchain, every time an NFT is created, traded, bought, or sold there is a record of the transaction. Since these assets can be created (a.k.a. “minted”) and sold on many online marketplaces, NFTs are accessible for collectors around the world. This accessibility has caused NFTs to become a great opportunity for non profit organizations (NGOs) to leverage for fundraising and getting new people in their donor network.
