Motion graphics – Agencia Downtown

What
Motion graphics design

Launched in 2014, Downtown Agency is a creative design agency based in Madrid. Thanks to their rapid growth, they soon left the concept of being a “startup” far behind them and wished to show their evolution to the world.

As a consolidated creative company, it was time to prove what makes them unique compared to others and sets them apart from the competition. A motion graphics video seemed to be the perfect tool to do so.

We are different

Why Motion Graphics?

This medium allows Downtown to introduce themselves and explain what they are capable of doing, while proving it at the same time. As a mixture of video, animation, design and storytelling, all of their strengths were perfectly compressed and combined in a simple yet catchy motion graphics video.

We are Downtown

We are young

We are New York

We are rebels

 

Representative & consistent

The video had to transmit the right image of the company. The look and feel of it had to say we are different, we put in maximum effort every time, we came from the seething cauldron of creativity found in New York's underground. That’s why I added the textures; on the one hand, they give depth to the image itself, while on the other, the variation between them communicates the feeling of movement. The design brief also specified that they were looking for something vintage but not old, and the different textures help to align with those demands and create consistency throughout the video.

Designs in motion

When designing a motion graphics video, it is important to keep in mind that things are constantly in movement and that they’re changing all the time. As a result, I had to carefully consider how things would jump from one point or state to another, while still being able to stand by themselves.
