One effective way to cut through today’s cluttered media environment is by adding motion graphics to your design campaign. One day, a customer visited us for assistance, and we showcased how motion graphics could enhance their campaign, setting them apart from the competition. At risk of coming across as a gimmick if overused or used carelessly, adding a few motion graphics or video can add a differentiating aspect to your design that can set you apart from your competition.
Adding some finishing touches are a great way to make a website stand out in today’s crowded market. Video and animations can expand or freshen up a design campaign as there are many ways motion graphics can be easily added into your campaign during the preliminary design process or afterward. Statistics about video consumption are telling. The advantage video has in being highly sharable is also a convincing statistic as “Social video generates 1200% more shares than text and images combined.”(Brightcove). Video is a compelling, entertaining, and engaging medium.
