What is Motion Design

Today's assignment includes researching and defining 2D motion concepts. According to wikipedia,Motion graphic design is a subset of graphic design in that it uses graphic design principles in a filmmaking or video production context (or other temporally evolving visual medium) through the use of animation or filmic techniques.

Motion graphics is the term used for all different types of graphic movements, including 3D elements, cell animation, stop motion animation, digital video, film and many other types of motion graphics. The designer of these graphics provides information through the graphic while guiding the readers through a story in some way. Motion graphics aren’t just for Internet use; they can also be used on TV and film.

The main difference between motion graphics and infographics is that motion graphics use animation while infographics are text-only. Infographics also have their own set of benefits when they’re done well. They work by combining different colors, styles, images and layouts to attract attention and provide the reader with valuable information.Motion graphics are also commonly combined with audio in their graphic styles.

Now that I know what motion design really is I am very excited to get started on this project/class exam. some examples that I can create with this program are: 

• 2D animated short films
• Apps
• Advertisement 
• Movie Trailer
• Game Intro/ Trailer 
• 2D Cartoon
• White Board Animation
• Animated Infographic
