Motion Design

A curated selection of recent animations

This collection features animated video work that span three primary formats: sizzle reels that highlight brand identity and storytelling, live covers—animated video covers designed to introduce and elevate individual publications—and hero animations built to anchor and enhance feature articles within each issue. Together, these pieces demonstrate a range of motion design approaches tailored to editorial content, platform constraints, and audience engagement.
