Image Description: A two-page interior spread (pages 4 and 5) from the “One-Step Campaign” booklet featuring black-and-white architectural line drawings of a storefront named “STAR VIDEO.” The top illustration (page 4) shows the original inaccessible storefront with a single step in front of the recessed entry door, while the bottom illustration (page 5) shows the accessible solution: a sloped ramp with handrails leading up to a level landing at the door. A green callout box on the lower right reads: “This solution is for situations where: • the door opens in • the step is less than 6 inches high.”
