Overview:

As one of the courses in the graphic design major sequence, Time-Based Media: Motion Graphics will introduce the student to the use of the computer as a creative tool in the creation of motion graphics. Students will experiment with notions of form, function & visual communication as related to the exploration of media applications. Students will compose & graphically articulate conceptual solutions to given problems & measure the effectiveness of solutions based on client/problem & or creative/strategic needs. We will focus on the general ideas of sequential storytelling, timing, editing, emphasis, thematic development, & basic interactivity.

Course Objectives:

• Compose & articulate conceptual solutions, which appropriately utilize motion graphics.

• To closely explore & demonstrate the relationship between form & content for the purpose of storytelling or advancing a narrative.

• To explore & demonstrate the effects of altered sequence & hierarchy on images & resulting content.

• Assess appropriate use of technology for a distinct design problem.

• Construct a conceptual framework, storyboard, or plan prior to conceptual implementation.
