Valorant: 2022 Relaunch Campaign
Valorant is a Tactical Hero Shooter enjoyed by millions of fans worldwide. In collaboration with the talented team at Grand Army, I played a key role in designing and animating the motion language for the upcoming Valorant Champions Tour on-air graphics package. My approach to the motion design was inspired by the game’s dynamic, high-stakes gameplay. I incorporated mechanical shifting and digital flickering to punctuate steep eases, creating a sense of urgency and tension that mirrors the intensity of the game. Icon transitions were deliberately crafted to reference classic weapon reload animations—heavy, chunky, and full of shuttering beats—capturing the weight and rhythm of the game. The result is a visually captivating graphics package that resonates with the adrenaline-fueled energy of Valorant’s competitive world.
