baltimore orioles
A warm welcome to The Oriole’s Spring Training!
CHALLENGE
To create an animation to welcome people into Ed Smith Stadium for The Oriole’s Spring Training!
FEEL
The feel is energetic and fast paced to get everyone in the mood for baseball!
research
My original research had me looking at parts of Maryland that I could incorporate into the actual animation! It was an attempt, and it fell very short from what an actual sports graphic package looked like. So, after relooking at sports packages for The Orioles from previous years, animations made for their scoreboards, and playing around with textures, the end result was a halftone style with heavy typography and fast transitions!

color palette
The iconic Oriole’s orange is used as a main color for the piece, there are also some hints of lighter oranges and subtle tones to help bring the feeling of the texture without it being too heavy.
#FFFFF

#00000
Textures
The textures here were used for the background, they are subtly used to help create a texture feel rather than just a blank colored background!
Lighter Halftone
Darker Halftone
Mogrt Usage
The animation is also used as a Motion Graphic’s template, so it is easier to change either the time of day or team the Orioles are up against! The drop down menu for the mogrt makes it easy to switch out both the text and the logo!
