  • How to make your motion design frames more dimensional. Create dynamic compositions with this one trick. One tip to make your designs more impactful. One simple tip for how to make your designs, photos, and illustrations better.
    Blind creative director, Matthew Encina, joins Chris Do in this quick tutorial/lesson on creating more dynamic compositions.
    To keep things simple and clearly illustrate what I mean, I’ve put together a few greyscale examples that show how adding contrast to your frames can drastically improve your compositions and effectiveness of your storytelling.
    If you ever find yourself stuck with a boring composition, push the contrast in the value, weight, size, and color of your subjects. Start drastically, then pull it back. One formula I like to use often is:
    1 really BIG object - usually the subject, and most important element in the frame.
    1-2 medium sized objects - secondary elements to give meaning to the main object.
    Tons of very tiny objects - tertiary elements to give movement and additional context for the frame.

    No matter how long you've been in design or any media arts, it's ALWAYS a good idea to learn and be inspired from others... it's amazing to see what people create! :)

      ABSOLUTELY! I am studying hands and feel and perspective with an artist even though I have been drawing for years. We can ALWAYS learn from others - younger or older - and when we think we can't, then our growth has ended!

    Oh mannn, I was so down with myself about composition in my photographs. It's dull, boring, and more importantly, I don't know why. It feels like when I put the camera to my eye, I am stuck to the rules and I don't know how to break it. The wolve and the elk explanation, I was like Whoa!! this is good stuff. Please do more of this.

    This content is pure gold. I'd love Matthew to give us some tips on how to direct motion graphics sequences. I'll be more specific: After I'm happy with a shot I've composed, I struggle a bit with figuring out if the next shot should be a close-up, general or mid shot; if it should include some sort of camera movement and such... In my head, I'm thinking of Cinema 4D projects, but this applies to any kind of audiovisual piece, really.
