Defining Motion Design & Career Prospects- Media City UK

"Motion graphics are graphics that use video footage and/or animation technology to create the illusion of motion or rotation, and are usually combined with audio for use in multimedia projects."

I firsthand developed the aspect of what Motion Design actually is, then I decided to delve into what jobs are actually available within such a theme.

For me I've considered my own route in the aspect of Motion Design derived from previous studies in Creative Media Production at A Level as well as my exploration of design in my Foundation Diploma in Art & Design. I've always had an interest in animation and design in correspondence of the advertising industry, and how commercialisation of products or places coincides with aspects of design such as my studies of Motion Design.
The first place that springs to mind that is within a local range is Media City in Manchester, which offers a wealth of design opportunities for all sorts of designers including Motion Designers. Such Motion Designers are part of programmes for Media City such as the 'Animation Toolkit' founder Westley Wood who often produces animation sequences for alternate companies in regards to advertising and commercialising as well as entertaining. A key opportunity Wood works in is with Citv producing children's animations involving alternate forms of animation, but with such animators Media City offers programmes where other animators can get involved.

Examples of Media City's current vacancies include:
