✿ TASK 1: TECHNICAL & MOTION GRAPHIC SENSIBILITIES ✿
TASK 1 DESCRIPTION:
Students are presented with a range of tasks encompassing both basic and advanced levels to cultivate their motion graphics sensibilities while enhancing technical proficiency and knowledge.
REQUIREMENTS:
Each student is tasked with independently exploring and advancing their technical skills and knowledge within the relevant software. Collaboration with peers and guidance from the facilitator are encouraged to foster a supportive learning environment.

1.0 RESEARCH
Before I started creating the design, I watched the example provided by Mr.
Fauzi on YouTube. We only needed to complete four of them.
Figure 2.1 Example from Mr Fauzi
After watching the example given by Mr. Fauzi, I started searching for
similar examples on Pinterest. However, it was challenging to find motion
examples there, so I decided to look at some similar examples and create the
design myself.

2.0 DIGITALIZATION
Mr. Fauzi provided us with a template that we could directly edit, which was
extremely helpful. This template served as a starting point, allowing us to
focus more on the creative aspects of our work rather than spending too much
time on the initial setup. By using this template, we could easily incorporate
our own design elements and animations, making the process more efficient and
manageable. The template also ensured that we adhered to the necessary
dimensions and format requirements, allowing us to produce a polished and
professional final product.

I worked on animating several key design elements, including balance,
symmetry, focus, scale, and rhythm. For balance, I ensured that visual weight
was evenly distributed across the composition, creating a harmonious and
stable look. Symmetry involved mirroring elements to achieve a cohesive and
pleasing arrangement. For focus, I highlighted specific parts of the design to
draw the viewer's attention to important details. Scale was used to emphasize
the size relationships between elements, adding depth and interest. For
rhythm, I not only repeated certain elements and patterns to give the
animation a dynamic flow but also created a soundtrack to enhance the rhythmic
feel of the piece. Each of these elements was carefully animated to enhance
the overall composition and convey a well-rounded, visually appealing story.

After completing the eight compositions—movement, hierarchy, balance,
direction, symmetry, focus, scale, and rhythm—we were tasked with creating a
composition remix. This involved combining elements from these previous
works to form a new, cohesive piece. The remix required us to creatively
integrate various aspects of these design principles, challenging us to
think outside the box and explore innovative ways to blend and harmonize
different elements. This task ultimately led to the creation of a unique and
dynamic final composition, showcasing our ability to synthesize and apply
the design principles we had learned.
Before diving into animating the remix, I began the process by searching for
the perfect audio accompaniment. This involved exploring various soundtracks,
considering different genres, rhythms, and moods to find the ideal match for
the visuals I envisioned.

✿ REFLECTION ✿
Task 1 provided an enriching journey into the world of motion graphics,
offering a diverse range of projects to explore and expand my skills. From
mastering the intricacies of software like Photoshop and After Effects to
collaborating with peers and seeking guidance from the facilitator, every
aspect contributed to my growth. Through hands-on experience and
experimentation, I gained a deeper understanding of animation principles,
composition, and design aesthetics. The collaborative environment fostered
creativity and encouraged me to push the boundaries of my capabilities.
Overall, Task 1 served as a solid foundation for my development as a motion
graphics artist, equipping me with the tools and knowledge needed to embark on
future projects with confidence.
