After Effects Motion Design: Design Before Animation | Week 04

Good animation alone won’t make a professional motion graphic. Good motion starts with good design. In Week 04 of the After Effects Motion Graphics Series, we focus on the design principles every motion designer should understand before touching keyframes. You’ll learn how to improve your composition, visual hierarchy, typography, alignment, spacing, color, contrast and visual emphasis — and how to turn a static design into a strong motion design foundation.
