Design Theory: How To Make Dynamic Compositions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- 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! :)
thanks Jeremy. you are right.
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!
Wise words...
Wise words...
More of this guy.
Yes. Matt is great.
More and more
More like, more of everything really. this channel's great.
Hello, My name is Luuk. I am a young classical composer who wants to share his music to the world. It would be amazing if you would go to my channel and listen to one of my compositions. My best so far is called: New life.
Please subscribe. It really much to my
I will doing a giveaway at 50 subs.
Yes we want more
This is by far the most helpful graphic-design related video ever.
I learned more during these 14 minutes than during 3 years of design school.
Thank you so so much, Matt. 👌
Wow! That's a big compliment. Thank you!! 🙏🏼
Love digging through "older" videos. Thanks for leaving these videos up. Very informative and helpful. I like that Matthew provided multiple examples to really enforce the concept across topics.
You explain very well and make it so simple. Thank you so much!
@@MatthewEncina plz explain if you can, the question is how we create dynamic composition in film....???
I love how Matthew explained things. It was very comprehensive and relaxing to listen to him.
Great short vid - a ‘bite-size’ reminder of the basics. Good stuff that will be useful to a lot of people.
Thank you for taking the time to explain, how contrast is a gamechanger in a design through a simple way. Matthew, if you can do the same video with how to construct better layouts in design, that would be something of high value 🙌💯
Fantastic! Been in this business 30 years and still learning new ways to look and think about things.
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.
Every video you guys make is full of valuable content, it doesn't matter if it was made in 2016 or 2020, it's just amazing. Thank you!
we try to make evergreen content.
This is basic, but at the same time, gold.
Great video Mathew, love how you've taken it right back to basics! Definitely would be great to see more.
Truly fascinating stuff. Learned so much in so little time. Hope there are more of these videos. Invaluable for my art. Thanks guys
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen! Great for noobies like me!!
4:10 not only is it in 'danger', it's pushed into a tiny corner which creates an intimidating feeling and makes this character appear vulnerable! Great
These type of videos really helped me a lot in terms of designing and its aspects than other resources. This channel is amazing for startup artists like me, thank you for bringing us great content, I highly recommend this
Thank you. I'm sure Matt appreciates your comment.
The first example with the wolf and the elk is effing brilliant in so many ways
This feels like it could branch off into a separate series. Nice job.
Better believe it. This tree has many branches and we are just getting started Ramp.
this is brilliant! thank you very much - valuable information on composition is rare
Wowza - I learned a boatload from this video. I'm brand new to graphic design and this was so helpful to me. Thank you.
Matthew is great. More coming from him soon.
bring this guy into the frame more here a good teacher
You got it.
That was amazing. Just simplifying it to simple b/w flat shapes to illustrate how to inner mechanisms works for these concepts. A brilliant strategy, thank you!
I liked the first two examples Very much!
Such a wonderful and one of the most educative piece I've seen. Absolutely loved watching this and all the futur videos. Loved Matthew's cold play experience!!
Matt is a great in making stories and telling them. I have impressed by his work in a video about pitching design (a couple of slides in Russian about an event -2013)
This channel really help me to think about design. Thank you very much for these amazing videos
You’re very welcome.
I love the recap in the end! It helped me to remember it. :)
I asked some time ago and you guys delivered! Thank y'all for cooking up some Motion theory and visual treatment! Can't wait to see more Motion Design Theory!
Matts working on a hands on tutorial right now. Should be a good one.
Great tips, thanks Mathew for sharing. I always learn something new or better from your videos, great stuff.
Smoothly done
Love this channel man... I have practically learned so much and have had so many questions answered that have been unanswered for so long. Trust me when I say almost every one else out there trying to make videos are just blabbering and basically saying the same thing everyone else is saying and before you know it, you have wasted so much time waiting to hear something you don't already know. Thanks alot and hope to see more "get to the point" and practical videos.
Thanks Avinash! Appreciate the validation. There seems to be lots of UA-camrs out there, but only a handful of professionals that are on UA-cam.
Please keep doing this, you give me leason that i would never have in my school.
Love you Matthew.
More please
Fantastic examples, thanks for sharing, I have to say that the intro was cool. I like the way the out takes were used to lead into the lesson. Nice work.
I am looking forward to useing contrast in a more extreme way.
Thank you so much for the video, clear explanation, easy understand, under 15 mins video i can learn a lot and consolidate my design skills.
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.
he da best.
So valuable! Thanks Matthew for sharing this with the community. Really helpful. Take care.
Wow, this video taught me so much! Thanks a lot
This guy is an amazing, really clear and organized teacher
Had a lot of fun watching this video
Prefect for our A Level Graphics guys! Another winner.
About to start my Degree in Design and your videos have made me so much more prepared and confident. Keep it up!
enjoy the journey.
really helped me with my dynamic composition task in my graphics class , thankyou . As a mature student I find all the technology etc a bit overwhelming so anything that keeps it brief and accessible is great
Thank you. I Will start applying more of these contrast variations to my designs.

big things have humble beginnings.
The Futur I could not agree more "big things have humble beginnings" 🤘🏻
Liked. Subscribed. Giff me more of this guy. He knows some voodoo stuff that I need.
Matt's got more content coming. Hang in there. It takes him more time to write and prepare his videos.
Personally - color, shading, shadows and pro use of negative space.
Would be nice if you took a bland comp and using your principles you create many samples to show a dynamic comp.
I would love to see those! Thank you for sharing!

Awesome tutorial. Thanks
These tips will be very helpful for me. Thanks.
thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Very nicely done. Easy to understand and you made me think of type in a way that I hadn't thought of in a long time. It is just a shape.
