Skills Needed for a Motion Graphics Designer
Even an untrained eye would likely notice that the modern digital world is full of high-quality moving effects, which are the responsibility of a motion designer. A motion designer is responsible for bringing graphic elements to life and possessing enough creativity to turn a simple theoretical idea into an attractive moving element on a computer screen. But is creative thinking enough to become a successful motion designer? To answer this question, I want to talk about 5 key skills that distinguish a motion designer! 1.Knowledge of Graphic Design To become a good motion graphics designer, it's important to be well-versed in graphic design tools such as: ● Adobe Photoshop ● Adobe Illustrator Knowledge of these will help you create appealing graphics that you can then animate in After Effects. In other words, they will provide significant assistance in creating colors and attractive designs during the animation process. 2.Typography - Attractive Printed Text You'd probably agree that content is made attractive not only by the animation of beautiful graphics but also by the font of the text and its proper distribution. Therefore, it's important to properly and beautifully distribute and animate key words provided by the client (e.g., a marketer), such as slogans or campaign names. This way, you can easily convey the message to the consumer. Consequently, it's essential for a motion designer to have the ability to create simple, unique, and visually appealing printed text. 3. Creative Thinking Since we've talked so much about attractive content, I think you won't be surprised if I tell you that creative thinking skills are essential for a motion designer. Creativity helps a motion graphics designer to: ● Create new visuals ● Show alternative ways to solve problems ● Add individuality, which is indeed a key to great success in this field! 4. 3D დიზაინისა და ფერების ცოდნა ტექნოლოგიების წინსვლასთან ერთად 3D დიზაინი უფრო და უფრო ექცევა ყურადღების ცენტრში, რადგან მას აქვს ისეთი უნიკალური მახასიათებლები, რომლებიც დიდი პოპულარობით სარგებლობს/ სწორედ ამიტომ მოუშენ გრაფიკოსმა უნდა იცოდეს: ● როგორ გადაადგილდებიან ობიექტები 3D განზომილებაში ● როგორ უკავშირდებიან ობიექტები ერთმანეთს ● ფერების თეორია, რათა შექმნას დადებითი განწყობა მომხმარებელში 5. Good Communication Skills In today's world, it's not surprising that any professional activity requires good communication skills, and motion graphics is no exception. Effective communication becomes particularly important when the designer has to talk to a technically "non-designer" client, during which it's their responsibility to convey the appropriate content visuals to the client in a simple and understandable manner.

Graduate Works - Motion Design
Graduate Works - Motion Design The modern digital world, from social networks to TV shows and feature films, is unimaginable without a Motion graphics designer, as visually polished and high-quality content (movie trailers, reels, commercial videos) is what makes content watchable. If you want to develop in the field of design, I'll tell you that Motion Design is one of the most interesting and highly paid fields. For example, the average salary of a Motion graphics designer in Georgia is 2500 GEL, and if we peek at freelance sites, we'll see that hourly rates range from $28 to $58. In this blog, I want to tell you about the most interesting aspect of Motion Design - the projects. As Commschool lecturer Gurika Chokheli told us, "Every project is unique, so the only way to cope with them is to constantly learn new things." Motion Design: Final Projects Now I want to share our students' projects with you so that you can better perceive the uniqueness of each project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrB1AulO6xo&list=PL-gE3cnzObb2G_ghfPidoW1My2DsSlOm4&index=10 Both projects you're looking at are made by Vazha Despotashvili. The first video is a dynamic animation of logos, icons, and other graphic elements. In the second video, a complex visual and animation is created by combining simple effects. However, throughout this process, you shouldn't forget that the main thing is such love for the work and a cheerful mood as Vazha's project demonstrates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvoKCSwET-o&list=PL-gE3cnzObb2G_ghfPidoW1My2DsSlOm4&index=16 I'll also mention that at the end of the Motion Design course, students work on final projects, within which they create advertising-type videos. This is Erekle Soselia's final project, which Erekle recalls working on like this: "When working on the final project, you have to go through almost all the topics you've learned so far in your mind. You think about how to approach it and what style to do it in - whether it should be very simple and plain or loaded with movements." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liSknGaUQ6w&list=PL-gE3cnzObb2G_ghfPidoW1My2DsSlOm4&index=12 This is Reziko Tokhadze's final project, in which he worked on an application promotion. Reziko is a video editor, and in addition to that, he was already working in Digital Art before taking the course and knows several software at a high level, so he thought that the next step should be learning After Effects. After completing the course, Reziko shares that: "If before, I was searching for graphic stocks needed for videos on various sites and often couldn't find what I wanted, now I can create the necessary graphics myself." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyPG9NAi8fE&list=PL-gE3cnzObb2G_ghfPidoW1My2DsSlOm4&index=1 Motion Design: About the Course I think it's noteworthy that graduates can create such complex final projects in just 15 lessons. I'll also tell you that after completing the Motion Design course, students can: Bring to life any graphic design, illustration and/or other visual material Create commercials, animate Explainer videos, diagrams, backgrounds, logos, icons and other graphic elements dynamically, animate mobile application UI, animate HUD elements Work with video, photo and audio material in After Effects Create 3D effects in After Effects with photos and graphic illustrations Create complex visuals and animations by combining simple effects Properly understand briefs received from clients, determine project complexity and budget, work in an organized manner Use the main principles of motion design, which are necessary for various categories of simple or complex projects Create reels and portfolios Motion Design Program 15 lectures | 45 hours | 8 weeks Learn more about the course If you're interested in other works by graduates, I'm leaving you a link where you'll discover more interesting things.
