Motion Graphics: Create an Animated Poster

“Thank you for listening to us for so long! I hope that this learning will be useful to you and that you will enjoy carrying out your project. Now is the time to prepare this project. This can be the poster you started with the exercises or you can create a new one! In any case, take care to document the different stages of your creation and add a brief explanation of what you did in each of them as well as your choices. Take the time to experiment, then embark on a 2D composition.

Once you're happy with your poster, you can move on to animating. To summarize this course, and inspire you, here are six ideas to keep in mind when working on your animated poster: 1. Understand the context. 2. Remember that meaning comes before aesthetics (although the two work very well together). 3. Be confident in every creative decision you make. 4.

We will respond to your posts and questions as soon as possible, but in the meantime, we encourage you to watch what your comrades have been up to and comment on their posts. We look forward to discovering your creations! See you soon.”
