Multimedia Design-Student Work
GID 306: Motion Graphics. Spring 2021. Instructor: Nan Hu.
Below is a motion reel exhibited during the Spring 2021 Film and Animation Screening at the School of Media Arts and Design. This compilation highlights student motion graphic projects from GID 306 (formerly GDES 350), where students embarked on their initial exploration and experimentation with motion graphic principles, techniques, and tools within Adobe After Effects. This showcase offers a glimpse into the creative talent and growth of these students as they navigated the world of motion graphics for the first time.

GID 250: Introduction to Interactive Media Design. Fall semester 2021. Instructor: Nan Hu.
Stop motion, also known as stop-frame animation, is a technique in which an animator captures incremental changes of an object by taking one photograph at a time. The examples provided demonstrate how students in GID 250 explore and practice using Adobe After Effects as a digital tool to create stop motion animations for integration into web pages.
GID 250: Introduction to Interactive Media Design, Fall 2021. Instructor: Nan Hu.
Today’s online media, which is arguably driven by young users, are increasingly populated with self-created, shared 360° hyper-content. Virtual reality (VR) applications, including location-based virtual tours supported by smartphones, apps, and online platforms have greatly enhanced user experiences and emotions.
Students in this course developed a virtual campus tour by experimenting with Google Street View to create a series of connected photos in a field (i.e., photo paths) to capture a 360° panoramic scene (i.e., a photosphere). The students then utilized Paneek.net, an online VR tool kit, to develop an online immersive virtual tour and enhance user experiences in online map navigation. This teaching report was presented at UCDA Design Education Summit 2022.
