There
are specialized terms referring to all sorts of aspects of Graphic design?
For someone just getting started in web design, or someone looking to have a site designed, all the technical jargon can be overwhelming.
Especially the acronyms. Below is a guide to industry terms that should get you well on your way to understanding what Graphic designers are talking about. In addition, we’ve provided some resources for each term to give you more in-depth information.
Accessibility. Basically, this is the ability of a Graphic to be used by people with disabilities, including visually impaired visitors using screen readers, hearing impaired visitors using no sound,
color blind people, or those with other disabilities. A Graphic with low accessibility is basically going to be impossible for those with disabilities to use. Accessibility is particularly important for sites providing information to those with disabilities (healthcare sites,
government sites, etc.), though it is an important aspect to consider when designing any site.
