I’m not a huge fan of motion graphics. I do like graphics that create a sense of motion and movement though, but for things to randomly pop up and move around a website without me directing to do that action bothers me. It’s a waste of time for the browser to load and it’s a pain in the ass to be able to look through all the graphics to see what I came to the site to find in the first place.
Overly graphicized sites that are ‘pop culture’ with the graffiti type art look like trash to me. No matter how well made it is I am far less likely to look at it and retain information about it than a basic wordpress blog.
