Motion Design Fundamentals
Learn the fundamentals of motion design and pick up some tips on how to make animation decisions.
Summary
Make sure to spend time on design. A great design can tolerate basic motion, but a poor design is tougher to enhance.
Add to your designs with complementary animation choices. Think about how your design interacts with different movements.
Fundamental properties of motion design:
Position: the X and Y coordinates of your media
Scale: how big or small your media is
Rotation: the circular movement of your media around a pivot point
Opacity: how opaque your media is
Make your designs more realistic by incorporating easing to express anticipation and overcorrection.
Don’t forget to keep it simple! Even the most subtle motion can make a significant impact.
