As part of my graphic design coursework, I had the opportunity to explore the dynamic world of 3D motion graphics through three distinct kinetic typography projects. These projects focused on the power of text in motion, using movement, timing, and visual effects to convey meaning and emotion.
Course:
3D Motion Graphics
Project Goals:
1. Express meaning through dynamic typography
2. Develop 3D animation skills in Cinema 4D
3. Apply principles of design to 3D animation
Tools Used:
Cinema 4D, After Effects
Project 1: Idiom in Motion
For this project, I chose an idiom and created a 3D animation that visually enhances its meaning. This project allowed me to explore how the movement of text can elevate storytelling, transforming a simple phrase into a visually engaging experience.

Project 2: Descriptive Word in Motion
In this project, I was tasked with bringing an action word to life through 3D animation. I focused on the dynamics of a single word, exploring how motion could enhance its inherent meaning.

Project 3: Movie Intro
The final project for this class was to create an opening credits scene for an existing movie. I chose Coraline, aiming to capture its dark, whimsical visual style while setting the tone for the rest of the film. The goal was to immerse the audience in the eerie atmosphere of the story and introduce key themes through the intro.
