Take advantage of Webster University’s Certificate in Motion Graphic Design, a unique
career field that combines design, film, animation and typography techniques to create
graphics for use in television, film, interactive experiences and real-world environments.
The unique, hybrid nature of motion graphic design allows students to develop their
artistic and communication skills to use in work on media projects that call for something
extra. Students will learn to:
Utilize industry standard software, techniques and workflows.
Demonstrate a creative individual voice.
Create design concepts and use professional-grade software to bring it to life.
Build a foundation for motion graphic art.
Produce motion graphics for audiences of all types.
Throughout the curriculum, you will develop foundational skills for motion graphic
design that will serve as building blocks for further study into graphics, visual
effects and even storytelling. Our course sequence is designed to help give you the
skills to create professional quality motion graphic designs, but also enable you
with the practice and knowledge to work within a team to create meaningful media that
translates an intended message.
