Year 2, Assignment 1- Animation, Three.Easy.Pieces

I have been set a new Assignment today. It is an Animation piece, where i will be looking at the key principles of motion design.

 I will produce three pieces of animation which illustrate or demonstrate a range of these animation principles. I will have to produce a sketchbook which will include storyboards and make 3 pieces of animation which uses shapes rather than complex drawings or recognizable objects. Being simple graphics, colour pallets are an important design to take into consideration.

The animations will last around 15 to 20 seconds long, and they will be varied in the number of elements I animate from one to many across the animation. Each animation must have a music or sound track of my choice.

Applying Principles of motion graphic design to your animation work will make the motion you create more naturalistic, more appealing and more easily understood by the audience.

For this assignment, i will be using two main bits of software:




-Adobe Illustrator 



-Adobe After Effects
