Animation Design – Russ Salyer Graphic Design

ANIMATION is a superb way to tell a story, plus a great way to engage with your audience. Since humans are visually driven creatures, the impact of imagery only increases with the help of animation. Our eyes innately pay attention to moving objects, and animation is like eye candy — catchy and bright elements that call attention to and help differentiates you from your competitors.

With the advent of the digital revolution, animation has become an integral component of marketing, demonstrations and even websites.
