Main Trend for 2020: Motion Design & Animations

In 2020, motion is everything. Motion designs and animations have become powerful tools for communicating with the audience and add depth to the story where written content is not as captivating as it was. They might make the audience feel as though they are flying through the modern world.

Think storytelling, dynamic use of identity and content, animated mascots and brand assets that move and interact with each other across websites and social media. Designers can no longer afford to sit still.
