FAQs

When creating a project brief for a motion designer on Contra, clearly define your project's goals, target audience, and any specific style or branding guidelines to ensure the end product aligns with your vision. Include the timeline for deliverables and any specific software or tools you expect them to use.
Focus on the designer's previous work available on their profile, paying attention to the complexity and creativity of their animations. Look for consistent quality and whether their past projects align with the style and vision of your project. Consider portfolio pieces that showcase their versatility and ability to convey the intended message through motion design.
It's important to communicate openly about the scope and sequence of the project. Establish clear, agreed-upon phases such as concept development, initial drafts, refinement rounds, and final delivery. Setting specific deadlines for each phase helps ensure that the project stays on track, and regular check-ins ensure you maintain alignment with the designer throughout the project's duration.
