"Derek Lieu posts a look at some simple tricks to make motion graphics more visually interesting "
Derek Lieu posts a
compilation of his list of go-to “25 things” that will make your motion
graphics project more visually interesting. If you have been creating
motion graphics for a while, these will be pretty basic to you. If
however, you are just getting started out, this can help you get
oriented as to what types of things might make your work a little
better.
This is a compilation of mostly simple
things I see in a lot of motion graphics tutorials or just basic
elements of motion graphics
Derek notes that this is by no means a recipe as much as it is a
checklist of ingredients for consideration the next time you are
designing a piece. Derek has a post covering the 25 simple things to make your motion graphics better, going a bit more in depth with each point.
The 25 points as seen by Derek
are gradients, vignettes, gestures, color
grading, shadows, contrast, moving backgrounds, glow, light sweep, light
rays, lens flares, slams, motion blur, staggered animation, graph
editing, bounce, mattes, color
transitions, twitching, particles, compositing, camera
moves, DOF, Camera Shake and 3D Type.
What are some simple tips you use to take things to the next level in your motion graphics work? -Post then below!
