Visual Boards/ Visual Comps

Visual boards, also know as visual design comps, are well developed and fully designed storyboards that map out the aesthetics (look & feel, background, text, imagery, graphics, textures) of a proposed motion graphic animation.


Often times designers and videographers create visual boards before project have been approved, planned, and developed in order to communicate to the client what their "vision" looks like.


Here are some examples motion graphic designers' visual boards.

WORK ON YOUR DESIGN + ANIMATION
Spend next two weeks working on the design + animation phase of Project 1 (____ This Jazz).

This design/animation phase of the project is where you should be spending a significant amount of time working on the visual quality of your project. You should be developing visually pleasing imagery/motion that make your animation engaging  and effective.

You should work on the following two things in class the next two weeks:

1) Create and prep graphics into several  visual boards, saved via Illustrator or Photoshop with separate layers
2) Animate graphics to chosen Jazz song (60 second minimum)
