Motion Graphics

Motion graphics is the art of bringing graphic design into time and movement, creating visual content that communicates through animation, typography, sound, and narrative in ways that static design cannot. From title sequences in film and television to explainer videos, digital advertising, broadcast graphics, social media content, and interactive installations, motion graphics has become one of the most pervasive and commercially valuable visual disciplines. Practitioners who can think both as graphic designers and as animators, who understand composition and colour as well as timing and flow, are in sustained demand across the creative industries.

At Ravensbourne University London, a specialist creative and technology institution with strong industry connections, this three-year full-time programme develops your skills in graphic design, animation, and film within a framework that treats them as an integrated practice. You will study typography, visual communication, 2D and 3D animation, motion design theory, video production, sound, and digital tools for motion graphics, building a portfolio that demonstrates your range as a practitioner. Ravensbourne's location in London and its industry focus mean that the programme has direct connections to the professionals and organisations that hire motion graphics artists.

Graduates work as motion designers, broadcast designers, title sequence designers, animation directors, visual effects artists, and content creators across film, television, advertising, social media, digital agencies, and corporate communications. The combination of design thinking and animation skill that the degree develops is also relevant to user interface animation, interactive media, and the growing area of real-time graphics. Postgraduate study in animation, design, and moving image is available for those who wish to develop their practice further.
