In this video, I study Frida Kahlo's work. I talk about her life, analyze her inspirations and artwork and show you to reference her common themes in your motion design work. While making this video, I managed to grasp the depth and meaning behind her paintings, an aspect I did not fully understand before. I hope this makes it easier for you to reference her work!

Awesome tools for a motion designer's workflow

Kahlo

I love a good Taschen book, use this one about Frida Kahlo as motion design inspiration for surrealism, storytelling and feminism.

Wacom Tablet

A good graphic tablet makes all the difference for a motion design artist, especially when making complex storyboards and styleframes.

Adobe Illustrator

If After Effects is king, Illustrator is it’s right hand man! As a motion design artist, use this software for precise vector work and intricate character designs.

MASTER COMPOSITION

When you learn motion graphics, you hear all the time that you need to master composition to communicate your message, but what does that actually mean in practice? My motion graphics tutorials aim to explain the principle to you in terms you can actually understand.
