The sketch phase

Through the thinking process, I changed my original idea so that there's more dynamic in the final version. Also how to make the text go around in a circle is a tricky part, I successfully managed it by drawing an invisible line using mouse cursor and let the text follow the line.

Lesson Learned

Motion graphics are more than just digital works of art. Their primary goal is to explain something or tell a story. So I found out a tone for it is very important. Your color choice, your font, are all to deliver the message.
