The Nice Club’s Post

Motioneer crew, it can be a lonely biz WFH. Creating a collab has helped me feel more connected to my peers, to those behind me and to the bunch up ahead. You never know what benefits and opportunities could land in front of you. A few collab gains I’ve made so far: Being matched with fabulous sound designers (hat-tip to John Green for reaching out). Pushing software chops in the direction I want. Creating work I want for the reel. Having an accountability crew to give you that kick. When you’re part of a sprint - a burst of work over a finite period, you get sh*t done. It’s your marketing - have prospects come to you, NOT the other way around. And the icing on the cake -  Jen Van Horn made a 🔥case study of her collab contribution last month - wooot - go check it out 🔗👇🏼 So, I don’t see working in an oversaturated market as being around competition. It’s more that I have a network of ridiculously talented folk I’m able to refer and get referred by. Win-win 💪🏽 The next Design Before Motion collab compilation drops next week. Animating the very best mid-century modern graphic design from total legends. And we have some killer animations to show you 🔥 have a bento snapshot of a few of them 👇🏽 #motiondesign #motiongraphics #animation #freelance #advertising

I have always wanted to incorporate my bilingualism, love of film and music into what I can do as a graphic designer to realize my dream of becoming a creative director. That being said, I want to share this template I created using stock videos from Pexels and Pixabay for Chico State Rec. Sports 🤩📹 *All stock videos will soon be replaced with our own footage* This template asks, "What is Recreational Sports?" and I gave three definitions based on our Rec. Sports trifecta: Intramural Leagues, Sport Clubs, and our Wildcat Gaming Lobby! #graphicdesign #template #mediaarts #creativedirection

Character Consistency Is now possible in Midjourney! 🎊 What does this mean for the creative Industry? This feature would probably be the biggest lifesaver for anyone in the visual communication field and especially anyone doing storyboarding. Want to brainstorm before a photoshoot? Yep this is THE tool you need! For brands, this unlocks the potential for them to LEGIT create an AI brand ambassador (the success of which is questionable nonetheless) The list goes on and on! Would love to know what you guys would use it for? 👀 #curious

"People ignore designs that ignore people." This is a reminder to all designers that our primary focus should always be the users. When we design with people in mind, we create experiences that resonate, engage, and leave a lasting impact. A design that prioritizes the needs, emotions, and behaviors of its audience is not just visually appealing but also functional and meaningful. It's about understanding the users' journey and crafting solutions that make their lives easier and more enjoyable. When we put people at the center of our creative process, our work stands out. By empathizing with our audience and addressing their real needs, we ensure our designs are not only noticed but appreciated and remembered. Let’s commit to creating people-focused designs that captivate and connect, making a difference in their daily lives. #DesignWithPurpose #UserCenteredDesign #EmpathyInDesign #graphicdesign #videoediting #wordpresswebsite #webdesigner #webdeveloper #digitalart #designagency #creativeprocess #designinspiration #designthinking #designerlife #videographer #videomarketing #motiongraphics #branding #logodesign #digitalmarketing #socialmediastrategy #contentcreation #photography #artdirection #uiuxdesign #appdesign #webdevelopment #animation #creativeagency #marketingagency #entrepreneurmindset #digitalagency #naijadesigner

With Father's Day approaching this weekend, here's a throwback to our campaign for The Perfume Shop last year and 3 things we think made it successful 👇👇 1) CGI MAGIC ✨ CGI marketing campaigns have been trending massively, especially in the beauty and fashion industries. Remember Maybelline's Sky High lash campaign featuring the London Underground or elf cosmetic's recent CGI pimple ad with Mt. Rushmore? 💄 🚇 What can we learn from this? Moving with the times is crucial. These campaigns are creative, funny, memorable and their high-quality photo-realism often leaves people questioning if what they see is real. They get people talking and sharing. 2) HUMOUR 🤣 Who doesn't love a good dad joke? They’re universally relatable - whether you roll your eyes, laugh with shame or genuinely love them. Either way, it gets a reaction out of people and leaves a lasting impression. 3) ENGAGING FORMAT 📽 We turned this into a SERIES of short-form videos that were released periodically in the month leading up to Father's Day. This approach kept the content fresh and built anticipation, consistently capturing attention with varied, entertaining scenarios. SO... Combining trending technology, relatable humour, and strategic content delivery created a memorable campaign 🙌 QUESTION - What's your best Dad joke?

5 Important Things to Keep in Mind When Creating a Youtube Thumbnail (Part 2) 1. Keep text brief. Limit text to 3-5 words. Viewers won’t read too much, so keep it concise. 2. Close-Up Faces Close-up shots of faces with clear expressions can evoke curiosity and human connection. 3. Avoid Overcrowding Keep the design uncluttered. Too many elements can make the thumbnail look messy and distract from the main point. 4. Use the Rule of Thirds Arrange elements based on the rule of thirds for a balanced and visually appealing composition. 5. Consistent Style for Branding Consistency across thumbnails helps viewers recognize your videos and builds brand identity. #thumbnail #thumbnaildesign #thumbnails #freelancer
