Motion Design
Motion design is one of those things that looks complicated from the outside but once it clicks, it genuinely changes how you think about design.
In this crash course we start exactly where most designers already are; Figma. We build everything there first, then transition into Jitter to bring it all to life with motion. The whole workflow is practical, straightforward, and something you can actually use on real projects.
What we cover in this video:
The fundamentals of motion design and why they matter
Building your designs in Figma and setting them up for animation
Transitioning from Figma into Jitter seamlessly
Keyframes, easing, and the animation principles you will actually use
Scroll animations, hover effects, and transitions built from scratch
Exporting your work and making it ready to use
If you are a designer who has been putting off learning motion design, this is a good place to start.
If something does not make sense or you have questions, drop them in the comments; I read everything!
