Grab a beverage, any beverage, and get comfortable because MODA is bringing design to you!

On July 9 we’ll be joining Matthew Burge for a journey from the origins of design in motion to the current state of motion design through a discussion of history, technology, and application. If this sparks your curiosity, please join us for an evening of thoughtful discussion of motion design and its intersection with the worlds of television and film, broadcast, interactive, gaming, and VJ culture.
