Animation

Nothing captures the attention of the human eye more quickly than a moving image. Because of this phenomenon the job sector of the animation job market will purportedly grow 15% through 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Whether featured on mobile devices or television, powerpoint presentations or highway billboards, animation frequently asserts itself over still graphic art, and is now more than ever becoming a larger part of corporate image today.
