In the information explosion age, where thereis a shift from static printed information to digital media, designs that can convey information faster, more convincingly and, thanks to mobile phones, ubiquitously, are likely to gain the public's favor.
As a result, graphic designers are increasingly including animation in their work to enhance their storytelling, making it more functional on the one hand and livelier on theother, increasing interest by appealing to people's emotions and desire to be entertained. This book showcases the current state of motion graphics in light of new media such as touch, mobile, outdoor and digital video media. Divided into three chapters, it first posits how a "rethinking" of motion graphics is essential in the context of new media toensure that graphic design remains dynamic and able to engage people in both an appealing and informative way.
