british-sign.co.uk - print out




This is another approach to the communication of the alphabet. This time the letters have at least been all kept together and rather than photographs they have chosen to use illustrations. I think the illustrations may work better since they are simplified and can communicate the relevant information but some are still a bit confusing e.g. K. Also there is an inconsistency with the inclusion of finger nails for some reason, so it gets a bit confusing which way the hands are supposed to face, obviously you can still work it out but it's just a small detail.

One thing they did have on the site was this tool for practicing signing:




One thing that I would note about this site is that although there is a lot of content it seems a bit intimidating, I literally didn't know where to start when I went on and was bombarded with options, so creating some kind of hierarchy would be useful or even hiding some of the menus.
