Here’s a bonafide CSS/HTML trick from Brad Frost and Dave Rupert where they use the <picture> element to switch out a GIF file with an image if the user has reduced motion enabled. This is how Brad goes about implementing that:
<picture>
<!-- This image will be loaded if the media query is true -->
<source srcset="no-motion.jpg" media="(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)"></source>
<!-- Otherwise, load this gif -->
<img srcset="animated.gif" alt="brick wall"/>
</picture>
How nifty is this? It makes me wonder if there are other ways this image-switching technique can be used besides accessibility and responsive images…
Also, it’s worth noting that Eric Bailey wrote about the reduced motion media query a while back where he digs into its history and various approaches to use it.
Let’s begin by drawing our first set of elements for the research infographic template!
To draw the outline of the male body, copy the half illustrated on the left, and then Reflect it and merge both copies with the Outline function in the Pathfinder panel.
Step 2
Do the same for the female body!
Step 3
Fill both body outlines with #98AEC5.
Step 4
Draw lungs, using the same Pathfinder function. Fill the organ in with #C7D7E2.
Next, make a copy of the lungs and place them inside a #BF3B35 hexagon icon with an outline of the same color. Color the lungs with #EDEDDD.
Add a line with a small circle on the end of it to serve as a pointer.
Step 5
Repeat a similar process for the liver, only changing the hexagon’s color to #889CB1.
Step 6
Use #ED7777 for the brain icon.
Step 7
Draw the next set of organs, using the same colors and functions as before.
Step 8
Draw the next organ, coloring it with #EDEDDD.
Step 9
Add the heart. Use #A1A4C2 for the icon.
Step 10
Draw the rest of the organs, using the same colors as we did earlier in the tutorial.
Step 11
Place the organs and the icons as shown below.
2. How to Create the Graphs
Step 1
Draw the axis for the graph, and then add columns using these colors:
#BF3835
#98AEC5
#6F89A4
You can use a Rectangular Grid with 13 Horizontal Dividers for reference.
Step 2
Create one more graph with different-colored columns.
Step 3
Create a stick man out of different shapes, using the Pathfinder functions Minus Front and Unite to make the figure.
Use #98AEC5 for the blue stick man and #BF3B35 for the red one.
Step 4
Create three more copies of the figure, coloring them with #ED7777, #7B83A1, and #6F89A4.
Make some graphs as seen below, indicating the percentages with the number of the stick men used.
Step 5
Proceed similarly to build a stick woman, coloring it with the same colors.
Step 6
Use it to complete a few simple graphs.
Step 7
