This is the Module Information Booklet for this module:
2. LECTURES
Week 1
We were briefed about our module and the tasks ahead of us. Then Mr. Fauzi gave us a task to introduce us to motion graphics.
Week 2
Mr. Fauzi refreshed our minds about the principles of design and also After Effects by having us try animating simple motion graphics of said principles.
Week 3
We were essentially a week in advance of the Project which gave us an advantage in preparation of
3. EXERCISES
3.1 Week 1 - Introduction to Motion Graphics
Task: List down 3 of your favourite Motion Graphics works and explain why you like it the most.
My first impression of this motion graphic was that it had a nice retro feel to it. In addition to the retro feel, the whole vibe felt like a pop-up ad you’d get while scrolling through the internet.
It has a simple “pop out” kind of movement but the stuttering of each line keeps it interesting to keep looking at. The colour palette is also very pleasing with the warm and popping orange hues with soft yellow accents.
Overall, I just really like any type of motion graphic that has “imperfect” or stuttering lines since it adds the slightest bit of motion to an otherwise probably static animation.

Fig 3.1.2 Motion Graphic #2 - Joy Division: Disorder (Source)
This motion graphic is simple yet it still managed to catch my eye. I thought it looked like a concert band poster with how the text was formatted and the choice of font as well. The subtle movement of the text and background gave a vintage feeling, like the frames were separate processed films compiled together, giving the “imperfect” alignment of each frame.
The main point being of course, the morphing technique the artist used for this motion graphic. The hand-drawn feel to it adds to the charm and interest of the whole subject. The morphing between each different quirky drawing is also timed well, given the theme of the graphic. The morphing is also extended to some of the typography as well like with the “Disorder” title.
Overall, I enjoyed the indie band vibe this gave off and how apparent it is that a person was behind the motion graphic with the homemade feel of it.

Fig 3.1.3 Motion Graphic #3 - Letters (Source)
This one in particular I was interested in because of the subject; Severance! I’m a big fan of the show so to suddenly see content of it in the wild pertaining to Motion Graphics was a pleasant sight. This graphic has more motion per se than the previous two and can very well be its standalone animated teaser for the show.
I was most intrigued by the flow of the papers flying through the wind and how you can see the “At the center of industry, there is dust” quote on some of the papers; albeit it’s a “blink and you miss it” kind of detail.
Overall, the mysterious nature of the motion graphic left me wanting to know more about the show or Lumon Industries and its mysteries. The sounds also add to its mystery effect.
