Motion Design
Creativity and imagination, coupled with technical ability, are in high demand in an ever-advancing digital landscape. In order to thrive in motion design, you’ll want to combine all of these elements.
To be a true motion designer, you need a design background.
Learn how to touch hearts and influence minds through highly-crafted motion design.
Whether you want to create motion design for movie title sequences, interactive media, or extended reality – our motion design course will take you as far as your imagination can go.
Create engaging visual narratives where the worlds of graphic design, film, typography, animation, image-making, photography and sound converge.
Design motion content for every conceivable media platform – from sky-scraping digital billboards, to augmented reality and virtual reality environments, to cinema screens, to discreet wearable devices. Using a design-led approach to motion design, you will problem-solve, plan storyboards, create narratives, design motion, build interaction, shoot video, engage in post-production, and explore new technology.
