Working directly with MoMA’s in-house Design Studio along with Order, who lead design and system project overall, we established and codified motion across the new system.

Our final deliverable was not only the animation guidelines, but also After Effects kits that featured several of these motion rigs, such that future designers could easily swap elements and type
