History
- Motion graphics, in a nutshell, is any graphics that use technology to create an illusion of motion, transformation, or rotation to show messages by video and audio storytelling. Motion graphics includes things such as films, animated text, web-based animation, etc.
- One of the first uses of the term “motion graphics” was by animator John Whitney, who co-founded Motion Graphics, Inc. in 1960 to create motion picture and television title sequences. However, motion graphics dates back to before electronic media, sometime back in the 1800’s with presentation flip books.
- Motion graphics is arguably one of the most sought-after art forms of the 21st century. A typical motion graphics designer is trained in traditional graphic design or comes from film or animation backgrounds.
