Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an HTML/CSS/JavaScript interaction study with explicit start, active and completed states and a readable prefers-reduced-motion fallback for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Upload Progress Motion.

Required content and structure

Visualize queued, uploading, paused, failed and complete states with readable labels.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: white, charcoal and vivid green highlights; clearly labeled start, transition and end states. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Supply actual progress values and the queued, uploading, paused, failed and complete states. Define what progress means when the total size is unknown.

Layout and behavior

Use motion to make state changes clear while keeping labels and controls stable. Show indeterminate progress when no reliable percentage exists.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Tie progress to actual supplied values rather than an arbitrary timer.
  • Pause, retry and cancel files in a mixed batch.
  • Progress must follow actual supplied events rather than a timer, and completion should not appear while processing is still pending.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Make the complete information and action available without animation. Provide pause or dismissal where relevant. Document triggers and transitions; do not replace actual progress with a decorative timer.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Upload Progress Motion. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Visualize queued, uploading, paused, failed and complete states with readable labels. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Use motion to make state changes clear while keeping labels and controls stable. Show indeterminate progress when no reliable percentage exists.

Interaction specification

The reference is a static concept: the behavior below is a requirement to implement, not proof that the picture already works. Copy the customized prompt into your working project. Start with the core task: Visualize queued, uploading, paused, failed and complete states with readable labels. Tie progress to actual supplied values rather than an arbitrary timer. For each visible control, specify its trigger, affected state and feedback; implement local changes with consistent state across related views. Give search and filters real results, selection controls an explicit active state, and save actions visible pending/success/failure feedback where relevant. Do not add unrelated workflows. Use proper links for navigation, buttons for actions and accessible names for icon controls. Do not imply a backend operation succeeded when only a local demo changed.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

How to Write a Upload Progress Motion Design Prompt

Use this upload progress motion design prompt to visualize queued, uploading, paused, failed and complete states with readable labels.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Let Progress Follow Real State

Upload progress motion should communicate an operation's actual progress.

AI-generated visual concept for upload progress motion
Upload Progress Motion — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

A timer-driven bar can falsely imply that a stalled or failed upload is almost complete. Use motion to make state changes clear while keeping labels and controls stable. Show indeterminate progress when no reliable percentage exists.

From the Prompt

Use motion to make state changes clear while keeping labels and controls stable.

Make It Your Own

Represent queued, uploading, paused, failed and complete states for [FILE]. Bind progress to supplied values and use an indeterminate state when a meaningful percentage is unavailable.

Prepare the Upload Progress Motion Content

The active queue contains different file states simultaneously; calculate progress per file and retain failed items for retry.

Active upload queue with per-file progress and failure in the Upload Progress Motion reference concept
Active upload queue with per-file progress and failure.

Supply actual progress values and the queued, uploading, paused, failed and complete states. Define what progress means when the total size is unknown.

From the Prompt

Visualize queued, uploading, paused, failed and complete states with readable labels.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this upload progress motion. Supply actual progress values and the queued, uploading, paused, failed and complete states. Define what progress means when the total size is unknown. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Pause Near Completion

The summary retains paused and failed entries; do not label the entire batch successful merely because some files completed.

Completion summary with unfinished files still listed in the Upload Progress Motion reference concept
Completion summary with unfinished files still listed.

The percentage and state should stop or update according to the operation. Do not run a success animation until the upload has actually completed. Pause, retry and cancel files in a mixed batch. Progress must follow actual supplied events rather than a timer, and completion should not appear while processing is still pending.

From the Prompt

Tie progress to actual supplied values rather than an arbitrary timer.

Make It Your Own

Review the upload progress motion against this requirement: Tie progress to actual supplied values rather than an arbitrary timer. Pause, retry and cancel files in a mixed batch. Progress must follow actual supplied events rather than a timer, and completion should not appear while processing is still pending. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Upload Progress Motion Result

The preview is a static storyboard. It does not demonstrate working animation, measured performance or accessibility. Test the implemented interaction and reduced-motion path.

  • Pause, retry and cancel files in a mixed batch. Progress must follow actual supplied events rather than a timer, and completion should not appear while processing is still pending.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current upload progress motion. Pause, retry and cancel files in a mixed batch. Progress must follow actual supplied events rather than a timer, and completion should not appear while processing is still pending. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
