Course Description

This series of tutorials will help you avoid common pitfalls and show you the best ways to create stunning motion graphics in the kinetic typography area. We will learn the most important questions we should ask before starting the work, and how they can help us make the right decisions later. The method of delivery and the device on which the piece is viewed will have an impact on the decisions we make as designers. We explore the idea of less being more in everything, from the writing of the script to the use of fewer fonts. You will also be able to see how following trends can affect your message and overall intent. This training will help you to understand the priorities and pitfalls involved in creating motion graphics or kinetic typography pieces of work. These principles can be applied to any motion graphics that are created in any software.
