2D Animation: Benefits & Usage

Entertainment and Education in 2D & 3D Animation

2D animation brings a lot of memory, whether you are twenty years old or forty years old. The moving characters, fantabulous voiceover and excellent timings of events became the part of one’s childhood memories. Keeping in mind the message of story, entertainment remained at the core of their making. Unlike 3D animation it does not give an original-like experience, but human mind is more imaginative than one can think of. 2D animation fosters the imaginative power of its viewers and creates an imaginative world around which a wonderful story is weaved.    

2D animation remains simple in its creation because it is not as complex as the 3D animation, but it takes same efforts in making animation whether it is 2D or 3D. It means if you are skilled enough in animation, or in picture making, you know how to use shadows or light and dark tones in order to make things live in making 3D animation or drawing.

Things get changed in our everyday life. You know that button-based mobile phones were introduced nearly 20 to 25 years ago. Now, we have gone through a drastic transformation, mobile phones have become a great ‘weapon’ – Ha! Ha! – instrument, which has captured the entire world in itself – the information you are looking for is just a touch away. You need to know that the market of digital cameras, music systems, even small computers, calculator, watches and most recently the tablet computers vanished in the tsunami of technological transformation. But 2D animation, even after the introduction of 3D animation or various other forms of children entertainment such puppetry or muppetry, its charm remains intact. You might have heard that “Necessity is the mother of all inventions”, but it seems when it comes to animation 2D animation is the final goal of children-learning and entertainment. However, 3D animation has achieved a great feat in learning-based animation. It is very easy to have children understand maths, geography and science concepts in 3D animation, instead of 2D animation. So, there is a thin but very strong line between in 2D animation and 3D animation. 2D has taken the responsibility of entertainment, whereas 3D is educating children in this modern ever changing technological age.

Due to its simplicity, 2D animation is the favourite platform of online game making. Look at the Candy Crush, Snakes & Ladders and other such entertaining games, all of them are made in 2D animation. The characters used in 2D animation can be changed as per the convenience; on the other hand it is not as simple as in 3D animation. 2D animator needs to apply its knowledge and skills of drawing and animation in order to develop a whole new fantasy world. On the other hand with limited options you need to use the original world as your inspiration.

When it comes to choose between the 2D and 3D animation, for entertaining purpose consideration of 2D animation is important. In order to have a concept understanding 3D animation works wonder for maths, science and geography, however, subjects like economics, languages, history and political science and be made understood using 2D animation in e-learning using voice-over & dubbing of concept.

Designing of Children Books to Mechanical Tools

After the inception of computer, graphic designing became very popular. It was one of the first among the list of enterprises who generated jobs in a large number across the world. As the generation of computers is getting enriched day-by-day, so is the case with graphic designing. New software are coming with updated versions and they have made things easy for graphic designers. This piece of writing is dedicated for students who wish to make career in graphic designing because it is full of potential. 

The term graphic designing includes business cards, book covers, page layout, product labels, logos, website layouts, banners, etc. It communicates ideas in a visual way. These ideas could be as simple as logo designing or as complex as a book page layouting.
Let’s go step-by-step. I am going to give you some unique and powerful tricks that will definitely work.

You need to get enrolled in a professional graphic designing institute. It should be a basic level studio. You don’t need to spend lakhs of rupees in learning this art. Then buy a good computer, which can hold CorelDraw, Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and other such software. Now, get a good Internet connection. Whatever you learn from the institute, browse it on the YouTube to compare what you have learnt and what difference you see in theory and practice. Be careful, learn that much only, which you have been already introduced. You might get confused. Slowly and steadily things will get unfolded in front of you.

Always keep in mind, your patience is a key. You cannot learn everything overnight. Practice a particular step innumerable time, every time you will learn a new thing and you will come across a new problem. Try to find out the solution of your problem. Do not move further without finding the solution of previously erupted problem. Spending a lot of time with problem will help you improve your skills and later you will master it.

Dip into difficulties, try hard. You will surely come out and with a great difference, which you will notice in yourself. Your risk taking ability will soar high, and you will find solutions to situations, faster than others. However, you need not to compete yourself with an individual. Compete with the abilities of that individual. Work hard and prove yourself that you have been growing a skilled individual.

You need to keep in mind that you cannot master entire software, because you will use same tools again and again. Other tools might be made for some other field or industry. For example, book publishers use CorelDraw for designing General Books, Academic Books or Children Books and on the other hand the same CorelDraw is used by mechanical engineers for designing their tools. They use completely other tools, given in the software, than the tools used by book designers.

A range of jobs you can execute in graphic designing are brochure designing, portfolio designing, catalogue designing, corporate pitch decks designing, advertisement designing, prospectus designing, packaging box designing, prospectus designing, box designing, logo designing, label designing, diary designing, book cover designing, banner designing, poster designing, leaflet and pamphlet designing.
