The first edition of the conference refers to the slogan MOTION CHANGES DESIGN. It focuses on those areas of modern graphic design in which motion – animation plays a new, often key role. The medium revolution touches the classic graphic forms, such as a poster, illustration, visual identification, and in the case of new areas – designing computer games or graphic interfaces, changes to build a new graphic language. Contemporary language and design tools also affect classic forms of animation, e.g. intros for movies and series. Speakers from around the world will discuss and show examples of how animation and graphic design affect each other.
