Course syllabus.
Where to begin?
We’ll start with a quick evaluation of your skills and a refresher from Design Kickstart. You’ll orient yourself to the primary tools for the course, and start collecting great references for future projects.
Typography & Composition
Flex your typography muscles as you practice with hierarchy and contrast. Learn how to choose the right colors for your compositions and quickly build on an idea using simple shapes to create series of polished boards.
Value, Hierarchy, and Weight
Create a promo that takes your viewer to the Red Planet, utilizing value structure, contrast, form and repetition. Learn to pace your style frames to imply movement.
Art History is Important
By now you’re feeling the burn. Take a week to focus on your work, learn how to “Steal Good Taste,” and dip your feet into the world of Art History.
Art Direction & Branding
This week, dig into Branding, Art Direction, Mood Boards, and how to come up with ideas in the first place. You'll also learn about the importance of research to nail a style and vibe.
Tension, Balance and Visual Language
Get a taste of title design as you learn to match elements for a horror movie trailer, using mood and texture. Finally, you'll learn concepts such as Balance, Tension, and Visual Language as you tackle an explainer video for a new brand.
The Business of Design
Learn about the business side of being a Designer in the MoGraph field. How are these new design skills going to help you in your career? Find out in this focus week.
3D Design & Complex Boards
We'll show you how to incorporate 3D into your designs in a simple, flexible way. After that, you'll move on to starting one of your last projects: a full set of boards for a visual essay.
The Final Touches
Your task is to take the elements a client has provided, along with their style guide, to create a set of boards for a :30 spot promoting their “Premium” brand. We’ve got 10GB of photos and videos for you to use, so it’s your time to shine!
