Hello, my name is Jiadi Tang. I am a motion designer with experience in audio located in Chicago. As an animator, I have created 2D/3D animations using Photoshop, After Effects, and C4D for major brands such as Disney, Walgreens, Bank of America, Campbell, and more. My experience in advertising post-house has taught me how to collaborate with client notes and teammates in various workflows. Additionally, I have experience with sound design for film, audio mixing, and music production.

Imagine investing your money in a 3D designer or 3D animator for your project and not finding the realism and quality you expected. Your time and money would be wasted! According to research, ignoring the value of attention to detail is the biggest mistake a 3D designer or animator can make. Only a few of us truly understand the value of attention to detail! It's the most crucial aspect of your design or animation.
๐๐จ๐ญ๐: Only designing and modeling alone are not enough. Accurate textures and lighting have the power to transform a 3D design or animation from good to great. ๐

Did you know? Many designers prioritize making money and completing projects quickly, often neglecting the importance of establishing "Emotional and Psychological Connections With Their 3D Design Or Animation."

Remember, great 3D designs or animations that resonate emotionally are more likely to be remembered. Aesthetically pleasing designs play a significant role in increasing user retention and engagement.
๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐: Humans are inherently emotional beings, and these emotions greatly influence our perceptions and behaviours.
๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐: If your design has attention to detail, your prospect will hold on and dive into the design. This emotional response can easily lead them towards purchasing your product. ๐๐
Itโs crucial to select a designer who knows and understands whatโs at stake. I always encourage constructive criticism and work with a client-centric approach, ๐ฏ which allows me to deliver the best results.
