texture and quality of the print medium’s paper and cover and other print specifications.
Further, in today’s digital age, a digital publication graphic designer would consider the same elements, apart from the tactical features. Instead, a digital publication designer would consider aspects such as functionality, interactivity, animations, web and mobile formats, and other specifications for the digital print medium.
Print and digital publication design spans books, magazines, newspapers, brochures, catalogues, newsletters, emails and other digital publications.
Publication design sets the tone for a publication and can amplify the written word. Just picture a well-placed pull quote in a printed interview or a beautifully laid-out recipe book.
10. Motion design
Have you ever looked at a graphic design and imagined what it would look like if it were moving, had life, or a bit of motion? A motion graphic designer’s job is to do just that: breathe life into graphic designs by turning static graphics into captivating and engaging motion graphics.
Motion graphic design, or motion design, combines the principles of design with animation and film techniques to create dynamic visual content.
Common motion graphic design includes:
title sequences, which are the opening sequence of motion graphics traditionally used to introduce a film, TV show, and nowadays commercials, video games, YouTube videos, and even streams;
explainer videos, anything from social media shorts to full-fledge productions;
marketing materials for social media, commercials, or web ads;
animations and microinteractions used in user interface design, web
design, software, game design, and video game development.
102
There’s also an element of storytelling in motion design. A good motion designer is also a good storyteller, using visual elements to guide the viewer through the design’s story, concept, or narrative.
11. User interface design
Not to be confused with a user experience (UX) designer, a user interface (UI) graphic designer focuses on graphic designing user interfaces for digital products and applications.
This type of design incorporates elements of both UX and graphic design. From colour-swatching buttons, icons, and menu bars to designing responsive layouts and microinteractions, user interface graphic designers facilitate smooth and intuitive interactions between users and digital products (or applications) via aesthetically pleasing, user-friendly designs.
Some user interface graphic design examples include Web and mobile app interfaces, software interfaces, gaming interfaces, smartwatch interfaces, smart appliance interfaces (i.e., smart refrigerators, smart TVs, and so on), in-car interfaces, interactive Kiosks and ATMs.
