The principle

Posters increasingly live on screens. Motion adds a new dimension: timing, sequence and transformation. A kinetic poster should still work as a still frame, but motion can reveal information in stages, create rhythm or bring a static idea to life.

Objective. Add purposeful motion to a poster.

The brief

Design an animated poster for a dance festival that loops in under ten seconds.

Constraints

  • Loop of ten seconds or less
  • Every frame must work as a still
  • Motion must serve the message
  • Any tool — After Effects, Figma prototype, code, or frame-by-frame

You're done when

  • A smooth, purposeful loop
  • Strong still frames
  • Motion that suits the subject

Stretch goal

Make the poster respond to sound or user input.
