Taking animation around the nation. Why is animation important?

Posted by: Peter Rainey, Posted on: 3 March 2019 - Categories: Animation, Creative, Events
Image of stills from animations created by Design102. A rectangle is divided into 4 evenly spaced squares, each featuring an image. The rectangle has an orange border at the top and the bottom in the brand colour of Design102 and ‘design102’ is displayed in white in the bottom right corner. Top left image features a row of people from a range of ages, genders and races, standing in front of a school building, Top right image features a space rocket flying between planets. Each planet has an inset graphic of an icon representing an educational asset, in this case materials, development, timetable reduction, mentorship, curriculum support and financial incentives. Bottom right image features a Smarter Working heading with a subtitle of ‘Culture and people, leadership, workspaces and technology’. The graphics represent a view into several buildings where various groups of people are undertaking or representing the ideals and activities referenced in the subtitle. Bottom left image features a female scientist looking through a microscope with a thought bubble above her head indicating ideas she is having.

Animation is important so I took animation around the nation and showcased examples created by Design102 and the Met Office, at Civil Service Live. Learn why animation is so important and what predictions on the future of animation were revealed.
