In Motion: Principles of Motion Graphics, Ian Robinson shares the core concepts and techniques used to create real-world motion graphic elements in Apple Motion. The course starts with finding the initial inspiration for a project and then covers how to bring those ideas to life using the tools in Motion, including type treatments, filters, textures, and lighting. Two projects demonstrating how to animate a title sequence and how to assemble a graphics package are also included. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:
Shortcuts for previewing and setting type

-Using type as a design element
-Creating dynamic transitions
-Creating and using color palettes
-Working with particles to create depth
-Adding details with lighting
-Integrating audio in a project
-Editing techniques
-Animating a lower 3rd
-Animating and styling a map
-Building a storyboard
