This accessibility resource contains many resources that were explored in your e-book, as well as others. It is a very user-friendly website. I couldn't resist sharing a Christmas Vacation GIF. In all seriousness, though, we are all in this together to create more accessible designs that provide equitable access for all.

A great resource that connects to accessible design is Microsoft Inclusive Design(https://inclusive.microsoft.design/). This site provides practical guides, activities, and toolkits that help designers think about accessibility from the very beginning of a project. I like that it goes beyond just technical fixes and focuses on creating experiences that work for everyone, including people with diverse abilities and needs. It’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to make their presentations, websites, or digital tools more inclusive.

There are several types of inherited colour blindness. For information on acquired colour vision defects refer to our page Acquired Colour Vision Defects

Trichromacy

Normal colour vision uses all three types of light cones correctly and is known as trichromacy. People with normal colour vision are known as trichromats.

Anomalous Trichromacy

People with 'faulty' trichromatic vision will be colour blind to some extent and are known as anomalous trichromats. In people with this condition all of their three cone types are used to perceive light colours but one type of cone perceives light slightly out of alignment, so that there are three different types of effect produced depending upon which cone type is 'faulty'.
Normal Vision Deuteranomaly
The different anomalous conditions are protanomaly, which is a reduced sensitivity to red light, deuteranomaly which is a reduced sensitivity to green light and is the most common form of colour blindness and tritanomaly which is a reduced sensitivity to blue light and is extremely rare.

The effects of anomalous trichromatic vision can range from almost normal colour perception to almost total absence of perception of the 'faulty' colour.

People with deuteranomaly and protanomaly are collectively known as red-green colour blind and they generally have difficulty distinguishing between reds, greens, browns and oranges. They also commonly confuse different types of blue and purple hues.

People with reduced blue sensitivity have difficulty identifying differences between blue and yellow, violet and red and blue and green. To these people the world appears as generally red, pink, black, white, grey and turquoise.

See the dichromacy images below - about half of people with anomalous trichromacy will see the world in a similar way to those with dichromacy but their ability to perceive colours will improve in good light and deteriorate in poor light. Often their colour perception can be as poor as it is for those with dichromacy.

People with anomalous dichromacy can have either inherited colour blindness, in which case their ability to see colours will remain the same, or they can have acquired it, in which case their condition could get worse, or possibly improve over time

Dichromacy

People with dichromatic colour vision have only two types of cones which are able to perceive colour i.e. they have a total absence of function of one cone type. Lack of ability to see colour is the easiest way to explain this condition but in actual fact it is a specific section of the light spectrum which can't be perceived. For convenience we call these areas of the light spectrum 'red', 'green' or 'blue' . The sections of the light spectrum which the 'red' and 'green' cones perceive overlap and this is why red and green colour vision deficiencies are often known as red/green colour blindness and why people with red and green deficiencies see the world in a similar way.

People with protanopia are unable to perceive any 'red' light, those with deuteranopia are unable to perceive 'green' light and those with tritanopia are unable to perceive 'blue' light.

People with both red and green deficiencies live in a world of murky greens where blues and yellows stand out. Browns, oranges, shades of red and green are easily confused. Both types will confuse some blues with some purples and both types will struggle to identify pale shades of most colours.

However, there are some specific differences between the 2 red/green deficiencies.
Protanopia
Protanopes are more likely to confuse:-
1. Black with many shades of red
2. Dark brown with dark green, dark orange and dark red
2. Some blues with some reds, purples and dark pinks
3. Mid-greens with some oranges
Deuteranopes
Deuteranopes are more likely to confuse:-
1. Mid-reds with mid-greens
2. Blue-greens with grey and mid-pinks
3. Bright greens with yellows
4. Pale pinks with light grey
5. Mid-reds with mid-brown
6. Light blues with lilac
Tritanopes
The most common colour confusions for tritanopes are light blues with greys, dark purples with black, mid-greens with blues and oranges with reds.

The images show how the beautiful colours of the pigments are lost to people with each type of dichromatic vision.

Monochromacy (achromatopsia)
Normal Vision Monochromacy
People with monochromatic vision can see no colour at all and their world consists of different shades of grey ranging from black to white, rather like only seeing the world on an old black and white television set. Achromatopsia is extremely rare, occuring only in approximately 1 person in 33,000 and its symptoms can make life very difficult. Usually someone with achromatopsia will need to wear dark glasses inside in normal light conditions.

We have had several very concerned people contact us via this website because they or their children have been diagnosed by their optician with 'total colour blindness'. Although we are unable to advise on the diagnosis of specific cases we have undertaken further research to try and understand why so many people are being told they are totally colour blind when in reality they are much more likely to have a severe form of red-green colour blindness. Our research has revealed that in many cases opticians have only received basic training on colour vision deficiency and some may therefore be incorrectly interpreting the results of the Ishihara tests.

If you have been diagnosed as 'totally' colour blind please follow the links to these two specialist websites for further information. If you think you do have the symptoms of achromatopsia ask your optician to refer you to a specialist who can confirm your condition.

Statistics

There is general agreement that worldwide 8% of men and 0.5% of women have a colour vision deficiency. These figures rise in areas where there is a greater number of white (Caucasian) people per head of population, so in Scandanavia the figures increase to approximately 10-11% of men. By contrast in sub-Saharan Africa there are few colour blind people. Countries such as India and Brazil have a relatively high incidence of colour vision deficients because of the large numbers of people with mixed race genes in their genetic history.

The 8% of colour blind men can be divided approximately into 1% deuteranopes, 1% protanopes, 1% protanomalous and 5% deuteranomalous. Approximately half of colour blind people will have a mild anomalous deficiency, the other 50% have moderate or severe anomalous conditions.

Numbers of tritanopes/tritanomalous people and achromats is very small, perhaps 1 in 30-50,000 people.

Reliable statistics for people with an acquired form of colour vision deficiency are difficult to find but as many as 3% of the population could be affected because age-related deficiency is relatively common in the over 65s and therefore on the increase in the UK due to the rising numbers of elderly people per capita.

To put these statistics in context, an all-boys school in the Home Counties of England with 1000 pupils would have approximately 100 colour deficient students. 12-13 would be deuteranopes, 12-13 would be protanopes, 12-13 would have a form of protanomaly and 62 would have a form of deuteranomaly. About half of those with an anomalous condition would have a moderate to severe form of deficiency.

While we often think of emotion and thought as separate, the truth is that they are both thoroughly intertwined. Emotion often precedes thought. Think about when you first meet someone. You tend to come up with a snap impression of whether you like them or not, which feeds how closely you pay attention to what they have to say.

Similarly, you may have felt swept away in the emotion of a movie whose moral, in hindsight, struck you as questionable. We feel things first. If you've had a powerful idea or hunch, it probably began as a strong feeling that something was right, which you were then able to test and expand through diligent effort and testing.

Emotion also plays a particularly strong role in attention, how we selectively apply it, and how deeply. It is a critical factor in how we think, what we think, and how long we spend thinking about it - and there are very few conduits to emotion as powerful as music.

Music and Emotion

In his book, "This Is Your Brain On Music," musician turned scientist Daniel J. Levitin, Ph.D. discusses the many cognitive benefits of music, including reduced anxiety and boosted immunity.

According to Harvard Medical School, music essentially lights our brains up. It can have a profound impact on the brain's very structure. Most of us go to concerts or put on a favorite song to feel some emotional grandeur, improve our mood, and make us happier. It's hard to imagine almost any intensely emotional experience without music.

Music, Emotion, and your Presentation

Music is the language of emotion. It says what cannot be said with words. If you work on a major presentation and want it to make a real impact on your audience, think of it as an emotional narrative. You want to stir the feelings of your audience as much as you want to impress facts on them. These two goals are closely related. The question to ask is, what do you want your audience to feel?

Isolate the emotions you want your audience to experience, and work from there. If you sell a security product, do you want your audience to feel a little bit anxious or edgy? If you want to sell your audience on the need to think differently, should you put them in a dreamy mood? Do you want to make them feel nostalgic, cozy, warm? Upbeat? Excited?

Carefully chosen music allows you to target the elements in your presentation that are most important. It also lets you color the emotional response of your viewers. This ability to highlight and enhance is the superpower offered by musical background edited into your video and PowerPoint presentations.

Convey Emotion with Music

Once you've worked out the dominant emotions of your presentation, Stock Music has an array of presentation background music for download that matches multitudes of precise moods and feelings. Whether your presentation background music uses video or Powerpoint, you can search through hundreds of tracks according to the criteria most relevant to you, including:

Moods like "dreamy," "confident," "reflective," "relaxed", "edgy," and "hopeful";

Genres like rock, pop, and R&B;

Instrumentation like the electric guitar, piano, strings, and drums;

If you prefer to try different musical ideas when you choose background music for your PowerPoint presentation, it's worth your time to browse the selections. You'll enjoy listening and also find the right one that complements your presentation in tone and feel.

Studies show the big emotions behind music are universally recognized. If you find a certain piece of music sparking particular emotions in you, you can feel quite certain your audience will pick up on the same emotions.

Musical Variation

Once you've determined your dominant musical style, consider how you might vary it. A good presentation, like a good story, takes its audience on a journey. Good storytelling relies on a palette of emotion. Consider alternating musical styles to give your audience a multifaceted experience.

If you want to puncture a very serious presentation with (appropriate) humor, consider how background music for your presentation could be used to support that. Similarly, an inspirational track or a hypnotic, dreamy one can add extra weight or texture to a potentially dry or information-filled presentation.

Cinematic music can add emotional heft or intensity to your ideas. Stockmusic.net has licensed music to companies like Fox, Time Warner, New Line, HBO, and more, so you know that its selection has been vetted at the highest levels. Stockmusic.net's musical selections have also given a sense of grandeur to NASA productions. It's the best place to find music for a PowerPoint or other presentation.

Psychology Today reports that "randomness of song choices increases dopamine." If you want to boost the mood of your presentation, shuffle different tracks to find ways in which they are complementary. This can be a great way to excite your audience.

The yardstick you use to judge music is whether your selection underlines or works against the ideas and feeling you want to convey. You can choose a surprising choice or a straightforward one. It can take trial and error to find the perfect selections for your presentation. Stock Music has music that represents every possible genre, mood, feeling, and culture.

Using Music Effectively

Music can be overused in our society. Once associated with special occasions, music is inescapable even at the mall and in coffee shops. Consequently, it can be too easy to tune out. Be careful how you apply music - and what kind you use. A quiet and reflective moment might be effective after you have unveiled the climax or the big point of your presentation, to let the audience contemplate your ideas.

Repeating tracks can be an effective way to underline motifs or themes in your presentation. Find a short, punchy track and use it periodically, either looping it or pausing it for a while and then bringing it back later. This can be a powerful way of reminding your audience of important ideas.

Broadening Your Presentation's Scope

Music is a universal language, but it can also be used as background to broaden or specify the cultural scope of your presentation. Certain instrumentation, rhythm, and time signatures can suggest different cultures and periods. Regional music can evoke the Middle East, South America, and Europe. This is a great asset to reach audiences and give your presentation greater relevance.

Enhancing Your Footage

Think about your favorite movie and how your memories interweave with the score. Ennio Morricone, the great film composer, spoke of how film music is "mysterious... because of its bond with images and because of its way of bonding with the audience."

Music can underline the power of your video footage. It can also compensate for footage that didn't quite go to plan or drive home an emotion that might not be visible in the moment. Editing in a punchy, cool way, using a rhythmic track, could provide tempo and excitement you need your audience to feel for your presentation to be a success.

Music and Memory

Music and memory are closely associated. According to Robert Snyder, chair of the sound program at the Art Institute of Chicago, "a large part of memory takes place in the unconscious mind." Many of our musical memories are stored in our implicit memory. You can make use of this if you choose to play on those associations. Music that evokes a feeling of nostalgia and happiness can trigger your audience to remember simpler times and make them receptive to your message.

Music and Motivation

Athletes and performers know how powerful music can be to help boost motivation. Epic-feeling music can motivate your audience - to act, to change their minds on a topic, or to buy your product. Psychology Today reports that music can motivate us in subtler ways. One study indicated when a store played French music, customers bought French wines; when they played German music, German wines outsold French ones.

Music and Time Perception

If your presentation is necessarily long, music can make it feel shorter, according to Psychology Today. This is more the case with "calm music with a slow tempo," surprisingly. The right calm musical selection could make your presentation feel breezier and whip by faster.

Licensing, Free of Headaches

All the tracks on Stock Music have been thoroughly cleared for monetization and are 100% royalty-free. You can download their background music for your presentation and distribute the finished work worldwide in perpetuity, without limitation on ad spend, budget, or audience. You can also transfer their license to clients or whoever owns or uses the final production. That means that the legalities and all are taken care of, so you can focus on your creative choices.

Is Music Right for Your Presentation?

If you want background music to add emotional texture, pace, depth, and layers of association to your presentation, consider adding music. Stock Music has music from all kinds of cultures, genres, and musical styles, with a world of instrumentation - all to enhance your ideas with a range of emotional textures and tones and make your presentation a memorable and winning one.
