Design For Motion Graphics

Course In Illustrator

Course Overview

This course was created to empower motion designers with a true directorial vision. It’s not about 'copy-pasting' from vector sites; it’s about understanding the 'Why' behind every frame.

What we focus on

Visual Storytelling: How to tell a story through design.
Composition Principles: Mastering the balance and flow of your scenes.
Camera Angles & Perspective: Using cinematic techniques to enhance your shots.
Art Direction: Building a unique visual identity for every project.

I’ll guide you through Illustrator's interface and essential tools. Then, we’ll build this scene together to ensure you’ve fully mastered the basics through practical application—not just theory.

Practice: Building a scene from scratch.

Design with animation in mind. I’ll show you how to break down characters into manageable shapes and build proper joints, an essential step for a smooth rigging process later on.
