Lecture
Today we will be discussing Rune Madsens blog post on the future of the designer and how the designer is becoming the “Meta-Designer”. After our discussion, we will start are transition from static design to motion graphics. We will first go over a brief history of motion graphics and animation from thaumatropes to computer animation, then look at a few code in motion projects and finally go over how to move forms using Processing.
