Free InDesign Template for Mixed Media Animation Projects

Unfold your creative ideas with this InDesign grid template for experimental animation

Digital animation allows us to unfold the creative ideas that live in our imagination. Experimental animator Danaé Gosset (@danaegosset) combines digital animation with traditional art supplies to create ethereal, dream-like pieces that intrigue her viewers.

If you like to explore the world of experimental animation and create sequences using mixed media techniques, you can let your imagination guide you through creating vibrant animations inspired by your creativity.

When creating an animation on Cinema 4D, there are various tools you can use to shape and render your design. At the production stage, Danae uses InDesign to map out motion graphics before printing.

It’s easy to use InDesign as it lets you play with layout, and that’s great for placing your animation frames into the document. Danaé puts her PNG sequences into an InDesign grid that she exports as PDF.

In this resource, you will find an InDesign template that you can use to put your render in and then export it to a PDF file.
