While I don’t plan on turning graphic design into a career, I have always found it fun to play around with with shapes, fonts, and colors on the computer. While I was a kid, I even tried making pictures out of PowerPoint shapes, of all things. As I plan on pursuing a career in film production, learning how composition can effectively give a message should be very helpful.<\/p>\n
This one in particular caught my attention. It includes trailers, animations, opening titles, etc. Like I said earlier, I’ll be pursuing a career in film production, so the graphic design component of that medium caught my attention. A film’s trailer needs to convey the tone of the film and the basics of its narrative to entice the audience. The art of making a trailer seems to be pretty tricky to me, since one has to determine whether a trailer is giving away too much as well. Opening titles and logos are fun to put together, too. I’ve included opening titles in my films in the past, trying to find ways to make the viewer excited about what they’re about to watch. Kurzgesagt<\/a> and Tim Gray<\/a> do great work in motion design.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
