Review: A Must Have for Anyone Interested in Motion/Animation Design - Design for Motion is not a step by step how to but rather a practical look at the Motion Design is done from the ground up. It talks about how to look at animation and the process of creating a motion design piece. It shows you how important the process is from the beginning and that the framework needed to take that idea through the steps of creating a professional work. The ideas of mood boards and style frames and the initial brain storming that is the foundation of any great work. It shows you how to create these style frames and boards in order to develop a concept through story telling in order to convey whatever message it is you need to tell. In short, it's a book about being a professional motion designer in the grand scheme of things rather than a youtube tutorial on how to make a cool specific thing. A must have for any creative involved in motion design.
Review: Great tool for designers, educators or anyone interested in creating effective graphics. - Design for Motion is not only a great tool for art educators and students learning about interactive media but is also a relevant read for freelancers, creatives or anyone interested in creating motion graphics. The real-world examples offer a valuable conversation about the current state of motion graphics and offer insight for how designers stay creative, current and effective. In the chapter Social/Mobile First, the author highlights beneficial information about the importance of capturing your audience in three seconds and how to create “thumb-stopper” content, while the “Professional Perspective” dialogues interwoven within the book offer inspiring advice and knowledge from studio founders, art directors, and freelancers. I also enjoyed reading Pablo Rochat’s perspective on social media and how he still makes daily efforts to be creative in his sketchbook. Overall, Design for Motion is a goldmine of information and a must-read for anyone who wants to be a well-rounded designer.
