Motion Graphic Design

Motion Graphic Design

Motion Design is a subset of graphic design in that it uses graphic design principles in a filmmaking or video production context (or other temporally evolving visual medium) through the use of animation or filmic techniques. Examples include the kinetic typography and graphics you see as the titles for a film, or opening sequences for television or the spinning, web-based animations, three-dimensional station identification logo for a television channel. About 12 minutes in every hour of broadcast television (≅20%) is the work of the motion graphics broadcast designer, yet it is known as the invisible art, as many viewers are unaware of this component of television programming. Although this art form has been around for decades, it has taken quantum leaps forward in recent years, in terms of technical sophistication. If you watch much TV or see many films, you will have noticed that the graphics, the typography, and the visual effects within this medium have become much more elaborate and sophisticated.

    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    Speed is scarcely the noblest virtue of graphic composition, but it has its curious rewards. There is a sense of getting somewhere fast, which satisfies a native American urge.

    What but design of darkness to appall?—
    If design govern in a thing so small.
