Five inspiring motion design campaigns

Motion design has grown in popularity over the past few years and are most commonly found in TV Advertisements and films. If you don’t know what it is, we’ll explain for you. Firstly, we have to look at the phrase itself, ‘motion design’. It’s a shortened version of ‘motion graphic design’ and, like it’s name suggests, it involves motion, graphics and design.

It is essentially playing with moving graphics and designing what happens with them. It’s likely you have seen motion graphics before as they are normally used for opening titles for movies and you can also find them in advertisements. In the case that you do know what motion design is and you’re just looking for some inspiration, then look no further! In our brand-new article we will be showing you five motion design campaigns that really caught our eye and can potentially inspire you!

#1. Ghost in the Shell:

This is a huge one and was done by extremely professional designers.

The movie adaptation of Ghost in the Shell incorporates lots of graphic motion. The director Rupert Sanders wanted to create a futuristic take on Japan and used the company Territory Studio to help. The use of motion graphics is stunning and realistic as well. A futuristic japan was indeed created.

Advertising Solograms:

To populate the city and to create a more animated version of japan, 3D figures were used. Territory Studios’ real challenge was figuring out how the advertising elements will look and behave with the environment. They wanted the animation to look real to an extent, so to achieve this, they made each element look tangible during the daylight or street scene, but could be walked through.

#2. Ojo CRM:

This a completely different from Ghost in the Shell, but it’s still as effective and beautiful. It involves a still laptop with some moving elements around it. This creates a fun and engaging design and is perfect for any business in the web design field who want to showcase their previous work, while still being fun and creative.
