What we believe in and how it applies to our design work.

A history of motion design

The history of motion graphic design traces its roots to the early 20th century, with the advent of experimental film and animation. Pioneering artists like Oskar Fischinger and Len Lye explored the intersection of music and visuals, using abstract shapes and forms to create animated compositions. The mid-20th century saw the rise of television, bringing motion graphics into living rooms with station identification and animated commercials. The integration of computers in the late 20th century revolutionized the field, allowing for more sophisticated and precise animations. With the introduction of software like Adobe After Effects in the 1990s, designers gained powerful tools to create intricate motion graphics, leading to a surge in their use across various media. Today, motion graphic design has become ubiquitous in film, television, advertising, and online content, continually evolving with technological advancements and pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling.
