Creating flow is simple, however, it’s one of the most important things in designing. The definition of flow is as follows: To exhibit a smooth or graceful continuity.  Without flow, a sig is just a random mess and will never be finished. I will explain the basics of flow in this tutorial.

Try not to choose a render/stock where the focus is standing still, looking straight at you. Instead, use one showing some kind of motion. Never try and fight the stocks flow.

Keep in mind that not only the general motion of effects create flow, but the effects alone do aswell.

Color plays a role in flow aswell. If you have constant shades of purple and then wam throw in some bright green, the flow will be corrupted.

Do not go from one extreme to the other.  Going back to the definition of flow, it is supposed to be graceful. It’s not graceful to place a very sharp object next to a very blurry object. It will give the viewer a headache and the peice will have no flow.  The same goes for all the examples I have shown you so far. Gradual changes in color, and motion will “flow” easier.

Practice makes perfect. Learn to make your sigs flow earily in your designing age and you will be that much better.
