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.

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.
