Braille 2014

October is National Disability Awareness Month and this makes the third design and 4th year* as a participant from Starbucks. Released during the last week of September in North America, this design has one hot paper cup and one ceramic cup with a tea bag. Of course the Card has the braille to the left of the sirens eye that says "Starbucks". The Braille system is a method that is widely used by blind people to read and write, and was the first digital form of writing that was devised in 1825 by Louis Braille. Each Braille character, or cell, is made up of six dot positions, arranged in a rectangle containing two columns of three dots each. A dot may be raised at any of the six positions to form sixty-four (2 6 ) possible subsets, including the arrangement in which no dots are raised.
