I’m so excited to hear that Lift Motion is getting some recognition as the cover story in Screen Magazine. They deserve so much more but I know it’s definitely an honor to be recognized in such a well known industry publication. I’ve been a fan of Lift’s work since I was introduced to some work they did for the Chicago Motion Graphics Festival ‘08.

I share a little background and history behind my career endeavors and cover what pushes me to become the best creative I can be as well as my current goal I set out for myself in becoming a great motion graphics designer. I talk about how Digital Kitchen started me on this journey to become a motion graphics designer through an article about them I came across in 2004. From that article I became inspired to research and learn about the art of motion graphics. A creative individual is who I am and grew up to be and shaping and morphing myself in the direction I want to go creatively is completely in my hands. This love and passion for creativity is what drives me in my career and since that article I’ve decided to move that creative path towards Motion Graphics. What Inspires you? What are your passions? Own those passions and make them a part of your life. Life’s to short not to wake up every day and do what you love. Share your passions and what your doing to make those passions a part of your every day life in the comments section below so that we all can learn and grow from them.

This is a quick tip to show you how to properly screen colors in Adobe Illustrator. Make sure your working in the CMYK color space, use spot colors that can be matched at press, pick a color and screen it with a percentage. DON’T USE TRANSPARENCY!

Wow! This could be a sneak peak into the future. Morph objects on demand to fit our human needs. How could this relate to Motion Graphics, 3D design? What are the possibilities in General but also, how it can relate in how we communicate through design? Anyone have and ideas or suggestions? Post some ideas in the comments section.
