What exactly is motion graphics design?

Put simply, it combines graphic design principles with animation techniques. This technique can be used to communicate ideas, concepts or information in an exciting way.

 

At the core of motion graphics is movement. It often features animating text, shapes, images or other elements which create a dynamic visual experience. An animation can range from simple movements, like sliding text, to intricate sequences that create a sense of depth and realism.

 

Motion graphic designs are used in various media, including videos, websites, advertisements and presentations, to convey messages in a dynamic and engaging way. It’s commonly used for infographics and to create a strong brand identity.
