Motion Design
A study focus for graphic designers who want to expand their skills and visual projects. Students will focus on 2D and 3D animation, video editing, sound design, visual effects using modern technology and a wide range of software.
Motion design embodies the main direction of contemporary visual communication - “graphics in motion”, which we perceive every day on displays all around us, from mobile app animation, motion graphics on Instagram and striking subtitles in film, to giant laser projections or projection mapping at the Signal festival. Under the guidance of experienced teachers, students will learn to create motion graphics for advertising, film, media and freelance work.

Why studyMotion Design?
-
As motion design is currently a rapidly growing field, there is a great demand for new reinforcements in the job market. Successful graduates, mainly thanks to a four-month internship in the field, will gain the opportunity to work in television and film production, internet video platforms or mobile app development studios.
We teach our students how to work properly for the moving environment of displays and screens. During their studies, students have the opportunity to work with film post-production programs, 2D and 3D animation or sound design. Theoretically, they are educated in the fields of communication marketing and the history of cinema.
In practical subjects, they will learn how to work with the camera and image editing, including the preparation of storyboards, animatics, subtitles and packshots. They will learn programs such as Cinema 4D, After Effects or Blender and Ableton for sound editing. They will develop their skills in graphic illustrations and animation, and thanks to the basics of programming they will be able to use Arduino or Raspberry devices.
