Framing the action
Spinning TV station logos have come a long way with the use of motion design.
Motion design is a sophisticated specialization within the field of graphic design in which a variety of effects are used to bring images to life!
Unlike animation, it’s more about message enhancement than storytelling. You’ll be adding a “pow” to abstract elements, sometimes literally, by incorporating action and sound into an otherwise static design.
