Motion graphics are a very frequently used means of visualizing content clearly, particularly on online education channels such as kurzgesagt or Crash Course. In this video, the Von Neumann machine is explained to you. The video is part of the TED Education series. Design and animation are by Eoin Duffy. Anyone interested in this type of video can take a look at the entire TED-Ed playlist and find inspiration there for their own projects—from the social behavior of elephants, through the effects of sugar in the brain, to quantum mechanics, you will find a wide range of topics there. You can find more works by the artist here.
Motion graphics in the next DP issue
We have also dealt with motion graphics and have therefore made it a focus in our next issue, which will appear on February 20. Among other things, you will learn how to create procedural motion graphics or adapt them to audio information. We also present a free ebook with which you can strengthen your fundamentals. With the tools and methods learned, you can then also visualize educational videos—the learning cycle would thus be complete in any case.
VR focus
Our second focus revolves around the topic of virtual reality. Alongside all the terminology and current projects, we also take a look at teething troubles and problems with VR for you. Motion sickness, for example, represents a major problem. What was that again? Apparently there is also a TED-Ed video about it.
