Category was the emphasis in this motion exercise. I researched different areas of the U.S. and their weather patterns and categorized the assigned symbols according to the region that had the most sunshine, rain, snow, thunderstorms, or cloudy weather. The motion of the symbols falling from above the U.S. represents the action of weather. 

Time was the emphasis in this motion exercise. I organized each holiday according to the month and day of year that it occurred or will occur in the year 2014. I emphasized the passing of time by showing each holiday fall on it's date in order of when it occurs during the year. 

Alphabet was the emphasis in this motion exercise. Again, I was given a random list of cities that was in a jumbled pile. I had to organize this list of cities in alphabetical order. I did this by emphasizing the beginning of each letter with a weight and color change, then placing each city in an organized list starting with the city that started with the letter A and working down the alphabet. 

Hierarchy was the emphasis in this motion exercise. Through Adobe After Effects, I created a short animation that showed the hierarchy of american wealth. I was given a bunch of names of famous, rich people who made their wealth in technology and then organized the names according to amount of wealth.
