Call for Proposals

Conference Dates: 19-21 June 2025  

Location: Anglo American University, Prague Czech Republic

The MODE Summit is a premier design education conference focused on motion design and related fields (i.e. film and television studies, web/interaction design, advertising, video gaming, augmented reality, virtual reality, and projection art. It serves as a vital meeting place for design educators and researchers, with the goal of amplifying motion design education. 

Motion design is an ever changing field that encompasses every aspect of human and digital interaction. Momentum, defined as the quantity of motion an object possesses, aptly captures the essence of our conference theme. Where is motion design today, and where is it going? Momentum reflects our goal of propelling motion design education forward, as we bring together scholars and practitioners to exchange insights, foster innovation, and collectively drive the momentum of the discipline.

Themes for 2024

1. AI and Machine Learning Integration: Exploring the impact of artificial intelligence on motion design workflows and creative processes.
    

2. Interactive and Immersive Experiences: Designing for augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) environments.
    

3. Data-Driven Motion Graphics: Utilizing motion design to clarify and explain (big) data and complex information.
    

4. Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Fostering partnerships between motion designers and professionals from other fields, such as science, engineering, and humanities.
    

5. Narrative Storytelling: Emphasizing the role of storytelling in creating engaging and compelling motion design projects.
    

6. Real-Time Graphics and Live Performance: Integrating motion design in live events, concerts, and broadcasts through real-time rendering technologies.
    

7. Accessibility in Motion Design: Ensuring motion design projects are accessible to diverse audiences, including those with disabilities.
    

8. Cultural and Social Impact: Exploring how motion design can address and reflect social issues, cultural diversity, and global perspectives.
    

9. Advancements in Software and Tools: Keeping up with the latest software developments, plugins, and tools that enhance motion design capabilities.
    

10. Kinetic Typography: Innovating with text animation to create dynamic and expressive visual communication.
     

11. Generative and Procedural Design: Utilizing algorithms and procedural techniques to create complex, adaptive motion graphics.
     

12. Hybrid Media and Techniques: Combining traditional and digital media to create unique and innovative motion design pieces.
     

13. Personalization and Customization: Creating tailored motion design experiences that adapt to individual user preferences and behaviors.
