    Why is it, that so many Motion Designers in the industry, not talking Buck level, just average motion designer working on corporate explainers and what nots... the average Motion Designer 'guy' (like 99% it's a guy) tend to have zero design skills?

    They just lack an eye for design. A sense of style. A flair. They know all the plugins, all the effects, all the 3D stuff... yet are incapable of the basics of good design, of working with negative space, typography, colours, composition layouts etc.

    Just an observation... based on the guys I'm working with. Seems rare to meet a motion designer that can actually 'design'.

    • You could say the same for front end developers.
      Maybe the basics are not that easy to master?

    • Since animation is very tool oriented a certain type get good at it...and design is different - tools are less intensedkoblesky
    • anyone who can do both is a potent force...and more rare for suredkoblesky
    • Developers can get by without being designers. The term Motion Designer implies having animation and design skills.CyBrainX
    • What you're saying is even more true about 3D designers. Many of them can't even choose a decent font.CyBrainX
