Design Domination

Design Domination is a working designer’s guide to accessibility, software judgment, and the business realities around creative services. Its center of gravity is practical. Episodes rarely stay at the level of general principles; they move into reading order panels, PDF tag trees, AI-generated alt text, remediation estimates, portfolio sections, and contract language. That gives the show a useful texture for designers who are trying to make accessibility part of paid work. One recent thread compares Affinity with Adobe tools through the lens of accessible PDF production, asking not just whether export features exist, but whether the resulting tags and structure hold up. Another tests Adobe InDesign’s AI alt-text generator and treats automation as something to verify, not trust blindly. The show also makes room for business anxiety. Pricing accessibility services is discussed through hourly rates, day rates, flat ranges, page complexity, deadlines, conformance levels, and client size. Portfolio episodes focus on how designers can show accessibility work even when they did not create the original visual design. Legal-adjacent episodes are careful about limits, using disclaimers and guest perspective rather than turning liability into simple answers. Adobe’s terms of use changes become a discussion about reading the whole contract, severability, copyright fears, and why designers reacted so strongly. Guest interviews add range, including accessible infographic tooling, web design business coaching, and legal terms for creative professionals. The show’s register is plainspoken and occasionally blunt, but its purpose is instructional. It aims to lower confusion without flattening the complexity. Designers come away with language for clients, criteria for evaluating tools, and a stronger sense of where accessibility work creates value. It is most compelling when it connects technical cleanup to reputation, pricing, confidence, and professional respect.
