A platform bridging the gap between motion designers
and the music industry.
For my senior degree project and symposium showing, I chose to focus and delve deep into the history of motion graphics. Its ever evolving role within advertisement, design, and specifically the music and entertainment industry is something that has perplexed me and many other spectators of the art form. The power behind motion graphics has forever changed the way a crowd experiences a performance. With the development of new technology and projection mapping, visuals have taken a fore front of many stages and have even “stolen the show”. From world renowned festivals, auditorium showings, and even gallery spaces, motion design has made its mark in combination with the sound of music stretching across all genres.
