CSS has added features that allow us to recognize the current environment of the user’s certain user expectations and qualities. One of those new features can be particularly useful for graphic designing and web designing for more inclusive motion on the web. One of the highly used features specifically is the preferred-reduced-motion media function. This brings a new dimension to Motion Graphic Designing. Why Reduce Motion? Back in 2013, the introduction of iOS7 sparked an awareness in the graphic designing and web designing community. Any movement on the screen may have physical implications for people with movement sensitivities, even though it was part of an interface. The big smartphone and desktop operating systems have added features for individuals. The screens minimize the amount of motion they experience in their operating systems in the years since then. In our work, the design choices we make around animation directly impact how our work impacts individuals with sensitivities to motion. Type of motion is likely and ways to minimize them with our design choices allow us to get better for the audience. It helps to construct an environment that is healthy for our audience. It will not cause unintended harm. Animation may also have a positive influence on our UX efforts. But it is up to us to ensure that we use it responsibly, just as we are trying to use our other design resources responsibly. Prefers Reduced Motion On The Web It now has good browser support for the preferred-reduced-motion media feature. Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, iOS Safari, Android Browsers, and Chrome for Android are supported in the latest versions. The level of support we have makes it something you can use entirely in manufacturing. Even, if this function isn’t supported by someone’s browser, nothing bad happens. It will just be overlooked, and things will proceed as before. The Prefers Reduced Motion Media Feature In Practice Deciding how to use the prefers-reduced-motion media feature is where we have room for solutions to be created.  Solutions, that best fit our products and content context. You’ll want to define any possible motion effects on your site for most web projects first. Then apply the prefers-reduced-motion media feature to give a reduced version of that effect. Let’s look in more depth at each move. IDENTIFYING POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING MOTION Go through some standard user flows for your site or product to find any possibly triggering motion that you may have. And take a closer look at the motion effects used: Do you have any interactions that have big movements? Any big zooms, spinning effects, or effects of parallax? For those with motion sensitivities, any of those types of animated effects are very likely to be troublesome. Animated effects such as color fades, opacity changes, and slight scale changes are unlikely to be problematic. If in doubt, adding the impact in question to your “to minimize” list to err on the side of caution can’t hurt. CREATE A REDUCED MOTION VERSION Next, for these potentially triggering results, you want to assess the most suitable reduced motion condition. Can you modify the animation easily for reduced motion requests to use a non-motion effect like an opacity fade or crossfade? Can you maintain the sense of the material by pausing the motion or eliminating the effect fully for decreased motion? An important factor in deciding what would be the most appropriate reduced version will be the role of the motion in question. You don’t want to delete material accidentally or worsen the overall experience. It’s important for content creators to make the work more inclusive. Make it up by taking advantage of the prefers-reduced-motion media. With movement on the internet, we can be completely articulate and innovative while being responsible and inclusive as well. But the level of consciousness is still something that we have to be, well, aware of. In their OS settings, not everyone who might need reduced movement is aware of the option. Perhaps even fewer individuals know that as so few websites actually take advantage of it. It can also impact content in their browser. The more we use the prefers-reduced-motion media feature and provide it with a quality reduced motion experience, the more meaningful it will be for those who need it.    

Graphic Design Trends have hit a significant milestone in the year 2020. It’s the dawn of a new era, and as designers start to define the era, graphic design is poised to hit new heights. There is a sensation in the air that anything can happen-that as we know it; we are about to see the next evolution of graphic design. Designers are already giving us glimmers of what is to come, but it might take a few years for the 20s to reach their stride. Let’s take a look at the latest 2020 trends in graphic design that are already beginning to define this new decade. Cyberpunk Color Schemes for Graphic Design Cyberpunk color schemes in practice create surreal environments for viewers, such as the picture below, that they are unable to witness in real life. Despite the fact that they are shamelessly drawing attention to themselves, their light often makes models feel friendly and welcoming. Street Art Styles Graffiti and street art methods cater to them in a nostalgic way, conjuring up memories of the punk scene of the 70s, the 80s neon, and the 90s grungy. But this trend is more than the usual comeback in the year 2020. For our unique moment in time, street art’s return to graphic design is ripe. Learning design has been more available than ever over the past decade. Graffiti is also a movement of jubilance and independence, of breaking ties and protesting tradition, with its inherent edginess (given its connexion with vandalism). The street art trend, all in all, is the ideal aesthetic to make us feel like the future is in our hands. Ultra-thin Geometry for Graphic Design Lines express the shape and nature of an entity as a basic aspect of graphic design. Geometric lines depict objects that are man-made and technical, while more natural and organic forms are depicted by curved lines. We see designers combining these line types in 2020 in order to achieve impossible shapes. Such models are based on stable geometry but still manage to feel transient and ethereal. They look metallic, but like smoke, they drift. Ultra-thin geometry without computer help is sleek, abstract, and difficult to pull off, which is probably why it is popular in technology and industrial branding. This style seems to convey the future of technology, something less and less physical the further we go into the “internet” and talk about the enigmatic possibilities in the coming years that await us. Paper Cut-out Collages Many collages tend to trick the viewer into seeing a single coherent picture when there are several. But there’s nothing to hide from the 2020 colleges. Designers combine pictures, such as drawings and photos, that simply do not belong to the same universe. They leave pictures with angular edges and white outlines that come from fast-and-dirty cutting and pasting, ditching smooth photo editing. The result is that the line between contrast and harmony is straddled, putting these disparate elements together in a sort of asynchronous elegance. Collages are largely on the artsier side though they are visually striking, making them perfect for editorial drawings, posters, and book covers.  Hand Lettering in Graphic Design With a Big Personality A vital aspect of graphic design has always been typography. When everything has to make immediate sense to new users in the digital age, typography has become very functional by necessity. But in recent years, in ways we haven’t seen since print advertising and days gone by magazines, the form has become bigger, bolder, and more experimental. Designers show that with bold typographic styles, even a composition that restricts itself to white space and text can still be adventurous. The larger-than-life theme will begin in 2020 but in a more compassionate direction. Custom hand-lettering is already very common, and it will follow branded typography by becoming more colorful, imprecise, and eccentric. Like the examples above, this can be done with lettering that comes alive. In order to give a sense of the individuals behind the brand, lettering can personify its subject matter or be offbeat and non-identical. Consumers will be craving designs designed by human hands in the years to come, and it is up to designers to provide the form that will appeal to them. Dystopian Aesthetic in Graphic Design Dystopia is searching for a voice in every medium imaginable, thanks to our cultural obsession with shows like “Black Mirror” and “The Handmaid’s Tale.” In general, dystopia (the opposite of utopia) refers to imaginary, dystopian worlds where somewhere in their history has taken a wrong turn. From a design point of view, dystopia seeks expression through cold color schemes, mechanized typography, techniques of glitch art, and imagery that merges tech with organic matter or totally removes people from the scene. Although the genre primarily portrays a future that has gone wrong, things are not always as bleak as they seem. A cautionary tale also takes the form of Dystopia, reminding us to keep our eyes open and vigilant. This pattern is mainly noticeable in illustrative media, such as album covers and t-shirts, so far. These styles are ways to get viewers to pause and reexamine the world around them. Dystopia is a movement with something to tell, and its success means that the microphone is being taken by designers in 2020. Hyper-pastiche Without a vintage influenced look making some sort of comeback, no graphic design trends list will be complete. Hyper-pastiche is what makes 2020 unique: designers will not recreate one particular era, but almost all of them. Whether it’s Victorian or Renaissance, Art Deco or Art Nouveau, in one huge chronological collage, past art trends blend with new designs. On one level, the 2020 trends in graphic design pay homage to their forebears. They are looking for ways of redefining the digital aesthetic, and who better than the old masters to turn to?
