- Motion is a kind of change, and change takes places in time.
- Time and motion are considerations for all design work.
- Any still image has implied Motion, while motion graphics share compositional principles with print.
- Animation encompasses diverse modes of visible change.
- Alternative modes of change: scale, transparency, colour, layer, etc.
- A word or design element can stay still while the environment around it changes.
- A motion sequence is developed through a series of storyboards, which convey the main pages and movements of an animation.
- Cropping a shape can suggest motion, just as diagonal compositions do.
- Complex and subtle behaviours are created by using different modes of change simultaneously.
- When animating type, the designer must pay special attention to legibility and reading order - context is important.
- Storyboards summarise key content/moments of an animation's events.
- Interactive logos and graphics are another aspect of motion design.
Every design problem is completed within a set of constraints or limitations. Modularity is one of these constraints. A module is a fixed element used within a larger system or structure e.g. a pixel. Breaking the rules of a standard design can produce a new response. Modular type can be made of anything. Think about the negative space around the letters. A calligrapher can freely adjust a character in relation to the marks coming before and after. A symbol stands for or represents objects, functions, and processes. Symbol systems are often based on geometric modules that come together to create myriad forms and functions. Design Task 1 For this task, I used a grid to produce four letterforms with common characteristics. I then translated this into an image from physical objects. Design Task 2 In Illustrator, I used a square, a rectangle and a quatre-circle to make the alphabet, experimenting with letterforms. Design Task 3 I created all the char...
