Motion is the design trend of the year with motion graphics, animation and video. Applications have been moving to a more video based platform. From Instagram to Facebook, they all have added video to their programs. With new-age stars emerging from platforms like YouTube and Vimeo, it's no wonder video and motion graphics have been on the rise.
Animation has always been a highly respected and sought-after media form, especially with leading companies like Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks. In the past year, other forms of media such as motion graphics marketing and personalized video (vlogging) have become popular. Today, with the help from Adobe's Creative Suite as well as other royalty-free programs, anyone can create a video, animation or motion graphic advertisement with little skill knowledge. In today's rapid market, not many consumers will sit and read lengthy information when they could just watch a video that explains it all in less than ten minutes.
This trend has been growing stronger with the improvement of smartphones like apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy, that are able to handle streaming live video with large gigabytes of free space. Motion and mobility will continue to rise but where will it lead? Perhaps more into a fully immersed virtual reality with the emergence of VR headsets like the HTC One and the Oculus Rift.
