Motion graphics is the discipline of creating the illusion of motion. The process is typically applied to the assembly of multimedia projects and uses digital techniques combining images, words, audio and video. A specialist in the field is termed a Motion Graphics Designer. Designers are invariably technically skilled in animation, image manipulation, visual effects and composition as they aim to breathe life into static content through the application of movement.

Designers are in essence storytellers. Repeatedly they amalgamate the intricacies of graphic design, film, and animation to chronicle a story through movement. Unsurprisingly, designers often work in the television, film, music and advertising industries, or within an associated production house. It is also common for a motion designer to operate as an independent freelancer. Typical tasks for motion design experts may include refining motion graphics for TV, music videos, commercials or title sequences.   

Motion graphics as a discipline is broader than frame by frame manipulation used in animation. Historically, motion graphics were purely reserved for big budget filmmaking and TV due to limited availability and high costs. Over the past two decades’ computers have transformed the industry. Advancement in computing has revolutionized a designer’s ability to manipulate and control the transformation of imagery. Modern motion graphics application occurs on computers using desktop programs and plugins.

A complementary tool when working with images and video sequences is a 3d software package. A few of the common software brands a motion designer may be experienced in include:
