Awesome tools for a motion designer's workflow
One Rule Of Motion Design - It’s OK To Be Yourself
It can be all-too-tempting to compare yourself to other motion designers out there, but comparisons only lead to frustration and anxiety. A key rule you’ll learn as a motion design artist is that it’s ok to be yourself. In fact, you need to be true to yourself and your own creative mindset to achieve uniqueness.
As a motion designer, there will be times when you look at motion graphic examples by other artists and start to feel despondent and insecure. The good news is that it’s completely normal to feel this way! In fact, every motion design artist goes through the same thing, so you’re in good company!
We all have a tendency to listen too much to our egos, but as a graphic and motion designer you need to learn how to put your ego aside for a moment and start to make art without feeling bad about yourself.
Comparing yourself to other people is never a good way to go, in any aspect of your life. Compare your appearance with others and you could be heading down the road of low self-esteem, poor self-confidence and negative body image. That’s bad enough. But start to compare your work with what others produce and you could end up in an artistic roadblock – too insecure to carry on as you were, but too afraid to try something new.
If there’s one thing I want you to take away from these motion graphics tutorials, it’s to learn how to create motion design without becoming frustrated or flustered. When you learn motion graphics, you also need to learn psychology for creativity, and forge a strong creative mindset so you don’t become overwhelmed.
