1 Storytelling with graphics

One of the main functions of graphics in animation is to convey the story and the message of the animation. Graphics can help establish the setting, the mood, the characters, the conflict, and the resolution of the story, as well as communicate the theme and the tone of the animation. To do this effectively, you need to use graphics that are consistent, clear, and relevant to the story. For example, you can use colors, shapes, textures, lighting, and perspective to create contrast, harmony, symbolism, and depth in your graphics, and to emphasize the important elements and events of the story.

What better way to grab someone’s heart than with a graphic especially if you relate to it. I will never forget the esquire graphic of Muhammad Ali with the arrow through his torso on the cover of esquire, it’s all out there. Disney also is the king of story telling with an image. It’s powerful.

2 Emotion with graphics

Another function of graphics in animation is to evoke and express emotion in the animation. Graphics can help convey the feelings and emotions of the characters, as well as influence the emotional response of the audience. To do this effectively, you need to use graphics that are expressive, dynamic, and relatable to the emotion. For example, you can use facial expressions, body language, gestures, and movements to show the emotions of the characters, and to make them more believable and empathetic. You can also use colors, sounds, music, and transitions to create mood, atmosphere, and tension in your graphics, and to elicit emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear, or excitement in the audience.

3 Graphics styles and formats

When creating animation, there are many different styles and formats to consider, depending on the purpose, the audience, and the genre of your animation. For instance, 2D animation uses flat and two-dimensional graphics to create a classic or nostalgic look; 3D animation uses three-dimensional graphics for a realistic or futuristic look; and stop motion animation utilizes physical objects that are moved and photographed frame by frame for a unique or artistic look. These styles can be used for cartoons, movies, games, simulations, short films, commercials, music videos, comics, or educational animations.

If you are trying to create a feeling or a time period, it is accomplished with style. I loved the animated film Klaus. The 2D animation was perfect for this film. The style was perfect. The secret of Kells was another stylized beautifully animated film. Lastly, who could forget what Bruce Timm did with Batman the animated series.

4 Graphics software and tools

To create graphics for your animation, you need to use software and tools that can help you design, edit, animate, and render your graphics. Popular programs like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, and Dragonframe are available for different styles and formats of graphics. Photoshop is ideal for creating and editing 2D drawings, paintings, or photos. Illustrator is great for creating vector logos, icons, or shapes. Blender is perfect for 3D models, sculptures, or computer-generated images. And Dragonframe is best for stop motion clay, puppets, or toys. With these programs you can adjust colors, layers, filters or brushes; manipulate paths, strokes, fills or gradients; animate, texture, light or render; and control the camera, lighting or motion of your graphics.

If you have to choice to either use a graphic or type, the graphic always wins. A graphic coupled with a great writer is priceless. All the tools and gimmicks in the world are going to help a poorly written, badly illustrated story, Ad or animated cartoon. Yes it is true a person is only as good as his/her tools but, the tools in the hand of a professional, that is true craftsmanship.
