Welcome to Motion Design!<\/p>\n
This course will introduce you to the core concepts, technologies and processes of working in motion and time-based media. A visual vocabulary of motion graphics as well as relevant principles of animation and film-based terminology will be established. The traditional design attributes of color, composition, shape, depth, tension and contrast will be used and combined with time-based attributes such as pace, rhythm, sequence, and repetition \u2013 to understand and evaluate work.<\/p>\n
Coursework will explore the unique narrative potential of graphics in motion, working with abstract form and letterforms, imagery, and the incorporation of sound. Experiments will focus on the capabilities of visual elements in motion to express \u201cvoice\u201d and emotional character through choreography over time. A series of motion studies will be followed by several short-format pieces. (See our class website for complete descriptions as they are assigned).<\/p>\n
Questions we will explore:<\/p>\n
+ How is designing for time similar to and different from developing other design solutions?<\/p>\n
+ What can communication \/ graphic design achieve when one of its core elements is the choreography of time and motion?<\/p>\n
