History of Graphic Design - Dynamic Designs and Computer Animation

Dynamic Designs and Computer Animation

• Computer animation creates the illusion of motion by viewing a succession of computer-generated still images. In the past, animation was produced by filming painted sequences on plastic or paper cels. The above animation was created from photos by Eadweard Muybridge in 1887. Computer animation can be used to produce special effects for educational purposes, such as the study of planetary motions, particle collisions, or fluid dynamics.

• Dynamic graphics are used to facilitate understanding of concepts in science, engineering, medicine, education, and business. Computer graphics facilitates the production of images that range in complexity from simple line drawings to three-dimensional reconstructions of data. The evolution of a phenomenon through time and its interactions with other elements can be shown through animation.

• In this 3-D dynamic design a cube is studied from various angles. These types of animations can be very useful in the study of various objects. They can also be used to study the evolution of a process through time.:

• The art of dynamic designs is still in its infancy. With the availability of sophisticated computer graphics techniques the horizon has been expanded enormously for graphic designers.
