Learn Motion Graphics in 100 days + 35 Practical Projects + Free Updates
What is motion graphics and what is the method of making motion graphics?
Motion graphics is one of the different types of animation. Motion graphics is different from other types of animation, such as 2D or 3D animation, because it is not based on character or story. Motion graphics is the art of creative movement of graphic elements or text, which is usually used for commercial or advertising purposes. If we want to give an example, the types of movement of a logo, explainer video, advertisements of a mobile application, and television advertisements are included in the category of motion graphics. Having motion graphics skills does not mean having animation skills, because in motion graphics you don’t need to know body mechanics or acting, but some features are common in different types of animation, and that is you must know the 12 principles of animation, and secondly, Have a good understanding of composition and the most important thing is camera movement, which is very important in motion graphics.
I, Hossein Mahdavian, graduated from Full Sail University in animation( Orlando, America) with more than 10 years of experience in the field of animation and motion graphics, felt the need for a good educational resource to learn motion graphics and decided to prepare and record an educational series suitable for the people of the world.
After learning this educational series and practicing and implementing them, you can easily produce beautiful motion graphics and start earning money.

The course, Learn Motion Graphics in 100 Days + 32 Practical Projects + Free Updates (Beginner, Intermediates) is one of the most complete courses for making motion graphics in the world, so from the zero stage, i.e. installing the After Effects Program, to the stage of creating real professional projects. In this course, I have explained all the after-effect features that are necessary for motion designers, and after learning the tools and techniques, we have done a project as an exercise so that the subject will stay in your mind forever, and you never forget when and Where to use that tool or technique. I tried to give an example of a project after introducing one or more tools or techniques, and I increased the number of projects to 32 in the beginner course, so that after doing these 32 projects, you feel that you know everything about making motion graphics. To see the projects taught in this course, refer to the bottom of the page.
Of course, you have to practice for several hours a day to master all the tools and techniques, and no one can claim that he has become a master of motion graphics by watching the course. No, it is not true. You must practice and practice for at least 6 months to a year to learn all the techniques and tools. You must observe, analyze, and imitate professional motion graphics to ultimately lead to creativity. No one can show creativity in the first place, and it is through practice, imitation, and repetition that gradually that practice becomes the queen of your mind, and then after learning all the techniques, you can show your creativity and create motion graphics. Implement what moves in your mind in the powerful After Effects program.
