Overview

This unit provides advanced skills in specialised software related to Motion Design practice. Through practical tasks and critical exploration of the relationship between design concepts and software capabilities, students will extend their understanding of the constraints of particular software. Students will develop in-depth designed outcomes based on this understanding.
