Early animation was done by drawing each movement by hand or moving real objects a little at a time—then taking photos of every frame. When all the frames were shown quickly in a row, it created the effect of movement. Examples include old cartoons, flipbooks, and early movie title sequences. Even though these methods were slow and hard work, they taught important animation basics such as smooth movement and story flow. These skills are still useful for anyone learning motion graphics today, even with modern digital tools.
With the invention of computers and new software, animation changed from manual drawing to digital creation. Designers could now use programs to create, edit, and animate graphics much faster and with more flexibility than before. This transition made animation more accessible to more people and also allowed for more creative styles. Digital tools like Adobe After Effects, Blender, and others have become popular because they let users easily add movement to shapes, text, and images. Today, most motion graphics are made using these digital tools, which save time and help produce professional results more efficiently.
