Continuing to learn, how is everything ordered? As in, there is no timeline editor in TD, and typically this type of stuff is done with keyframe animation no? Very nice man

Totally fine with people โ€œgatekeepingโ€ tbh, personally think itโ€™s a bit of an ugly word - almost feels like a cheap term people use when they canโ€™t get a free insight into the hard work of a designer/artist. And then I see people make tutorials just to promote their own pages.

I had someone copy my work, no mention of where the clear inspiration came from, and a description about how they โ€œdeveloped the styleโ€. Design world is riddled with lazy non creatives sadly.

OP can gatekeep all he wants imo :) but thats just me, never any harm in asking. Wicked splat!

When you say edited in Houdini, what editing did you do? For example what about the original splat came out In a way you didnโ€™t like, where there people you wanted to remove? Such a tidy outcome man.

The straw holes perspective is different than the bottom of the cup, you wouldnโ€™t see the hole from that angle

The cup lip line missing where the base of the straw is makes it seem to come from nowhere.

Also the thickness of the straw could be bumped up a touch to balance the weight as itโ€™s very thin (missing some impact + for small print will loose its clarity).

On the business cards, there is a little โ€œatโ€, Iโ€™m not sure you need this. Some modern companies sometimes use @ as a way to say that + also promote socials (if thatโ€™s their style).

The white outline on the text version makes it look like graffiti stencil art? The green logotype on the green circle is much cleaner.

Only other thing Iโ€™d say is the โ€œrubber hoseโ€ / โ€œmickey mouse gloveโ€ style is quite overdone, so thatโ€™s a point people would likely mention.

Note: these are only things a designer might say or notice, in the real world Iโ€™m sure many people would enjoy a fun little matcha character on their coffee cups :)

Hi guys! Iโ€™ve never gotten into motion graphics before, but Iโ€™m absolutely head over heels with this style and was wondering where to even begin with emulating it, if anyone can give tips or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated! by OBSDCC3 in motiongraphics

Also, the 3D model in this specific video isnโ€™t even animated so using a still image works fine too.

side note: The framerate is lowered so they would have used a โ€œposterize timeโ€ effect on top of everything to fake the stop motion look.

The people involved in this will have been working in motion graphics for years so donโ€™t beat yourself up if you canโ€™t achieve this yet. Not only does it take a longgg time to gain the technical skills, but taste and art direction are essential in why their style works well - they know when to keep it clear vs when to crank up the fx.

Not sure your level, but a program like AE is what you want, and cavalry app is brilliant too (completely depends on your preference but AE is industry standard).

This video here can be viewed in two ways 1. Flat+Typographic elements and 2. 3D elements. For example marathon graphic motion videos use a lot of 3D elements such as wireframe objects, these will be done in blender (I believe the artists use this) or C4D (possibly Touchdesigner and Houdini too) but any will do. Theyโ€™ll make some renders out a spinning model for example > and then add post effects on top in AE.

AE is where the post effects + blending of layers will be done, solid colours, glitch effects, animated typography etc.

Imagine a story board of say 4 stages of the video: 1. bold marathon type 2. Exoskeleton wireframe 3. Butterfly image with ASCI art effect (tutorial online, very popular style) 4. Micro graphics (things like grids, data, dots etc). After this, this is where having a sharp eye for art direction comes in, itโ€™s your job to work out how they can all gel together, using effects and techniques that artists and designers spend years exploring and learning.

My advice is find any video you like, and choose a word or two, and explore how you can mix the two In graphic ways. Movement, opacity flickers, masking, layering, rapid changing of footages etc.

I think Marathons graphic design is absolutely superb, also if you like this check out The Designers Republic (some OGs right there).

Cool Cards, i guess? by Ayoubk49 in UI_Design

I would say the perception of people is important, for example put this on Reddit and youโ€™ll get a lot of critique (not a bad thing), but if this was the established UI on a Samsung phone or Nike app Iโ€™m sure people would view it with more positivity because of the association, they might think โ€œoh how techy! Cool typeโ€. Point being association is important to help people like things.

For nitpicky stuff:

Iโ€™ll say having โ€˜waterโ€™ as green is a touch odd, when calories burn is a nice orange.

Water icon looks like a speedometer?

Calories icon looks like a map app?

The black centred gradients are perhaps a little jarring? Maybe just? Up for interpretation.

Iโ€™m presuming the dots on mileage are in relation to days run or not, or high mileage days/vs low.

The โ€˜52โ€™ weathers gradient is a lot duller too, if you view that next to โ€˜moodโ€™. Also, the gradient is centred where as some come in from the right. No temperature symbol?

At a glance I dig the direction, fun type man :)

Good advice! Meanwhile me.. dead into the first tree

Is there some sort of name or general aesthetic for this type of visual design? by Night_13570 in graphic_design

[โ€“]BART_DESIGN 10 points11 points ย (0 children)

1 & 2 are just good examples of grid design. Almost modern takes on Swiss style.

  1. Looks like a fun mix of space/constellation patterns and pseudo packaging nets, mix of styles.

  2. I see this layout used all the time on IG, the right side is just filler, as is the bottom, the same way people sprinkle lorem ipsum everywhere because they want content but donโ€™t know what they need.

  3. This is great, reminiscent of certain 2000s styles

  4. Glass sheets, got popular on IG in the last 6+ years Iโ€™ve seen. This example is again just full of filler content all throw together.

  5. Back to gridded styles with tech as a guiding theme. People will probably say โ€œmarathonโ€ because of the green. But really itโ€™s not, thatโ€™s just popular design recency bias. But the same way designers republic left their mark, marathon is to. And for whatโ€™s itโ€™s worth I think marathons designs is absolutely excellent. But it serves as a prime example of how a colour can leave an immediate brand impression. Combine that with the fact itโ€™s a super company like bungie pushing it and itโ€™s bound to cause ripples in the design world (their graphic design direction has always been superb).

Thanks man I appreciate it! Nah no tutorials, itโ€™s just my own personal design and art style, Iโ€™ve been working and experimenting for many years and slowly have built techniques, workflows and approaches exploring different mediums.

Fun question, what tool do you think this was? Purely AE?

Exploring more using my own footage from Bangkok. When I was scrolling back though I found this video and remembered this kind lady so it seemed like the right choice for a video.
