About – Anaimation

Angeles Moreno

Senior Art Director & Graphic Designer

I graduated Cum Laude from the Universidad de las Americas, Puebla, considered the best private University in Mexico. I began my professional career at Once TV – one of Mexico’s public cultural television channels. As Creative Director in Chief of the Graphic Design Department of the Direction of Children’s Programming, I coordinated a team of designers/illustrators to generate on-screen graphics for our productions: show intros, lower thirds, backdrops, title sequences, closing credits, promos, animated capsules, scenic design, studio props and costumed characters, under extremely tight deadlines. Our edutainment tv shows were awarded with international recognitions, including the Prix Jeunesse and the Broadcast Designers Association (BDA). A tremendous springboard for everything I have done since.

Afterwards, I completed a Specialization in 3D Modeling & Animation in Barcelona, Spain, paying for my studies by creating an award-winning multimedia project and by teaching design and multimedia classes at the same Institute. Also in Barcelona, I had the unique opportunity of working as an in-house designer for one of the most respected European graphic designers alive, Peret Torrent, who expanded my vision of deep, conceptual, top quality design. Together we created the channel identity and on-screen graphic design / branding for Barcelona Television.

I started my own business “Anaimation | Motion Graphic Design” in 2000, and since then, I have efficiently developed my Portfolio and my clients showcase my own work ethics, providing opportunities to promote Art, Culture, Education, Music, Museography, Health & Wellness and Technology. I have taught Design and Multimedia across diverse universities and institutions and have been invited to multiple conferences and seminars as a Lecturer. Samples of my work have been published by Editorial Gili, Trilce Ediciones and the Pepin Press Amsterdam, among others.

Entrepreneurial Initiative

Consistent yoga practice gave a more profound significance and a fresh inspiration to my artwork. In 2008 I became a Yoga Instructor and created my own product brand, Yoga Inspired Art. Simplicity, vivid colors, and geometric compositions define my art along with influences from my graphic design work. Since 2011, I have been reproducing and distributing my art.

I hired Angeles in 1996 to lead as the Creative Director / Head of Design for Children’s Programs at Mexico’s public television. I discovered a highly creative and innovative young designer who stood out for her vision, dedication and high quality of her work. Over the years we’ve continued to collaborate on many projects at many levels: I can’t think of anybody else when I want the best. She always brings a highly creative and innovative angle and it’s always a pleasure to work with her. I have nothing but praise for Angeles and recommend her highly when talent, vision and quality are at stake.

MARKETING PROGRAMS, EVENT MANAGEMENT & SPONSORSHIPS

ANN BERCHTOLD

Angeles and I have now worked together for more than ten years on numerous projects. In 2009, Angeles first helped to design the web and brand identity for the first edition of the Art San Diego Contemporary Art Show. From website, to signage, sponsorship materials, exhibitor manuals, t-shirts, vip-tickets, etc – Angeles has the ability to create a very unique and unified design treatment. It is such a pleasure to work with someone like Angeles who understands my sensibility so that there is very little instruction ever needed. Angeles has the excellent ability to translate business concepts into relevant images. She delivers quick work with an amazing temperament (especially under-pressure).

When we launched our Warriors for Healing foundation in 2015, we had to have a large and intricate website created quickly. We needed someone with incredible artistic and design talent who also was fast, highly organized and responsive. What a blessing to find Angeles Moreno! She had all these skills was and then some. She designed an amazing site for us with high functionality, plus created logos, t-shirts, posters, postcards and more. It seems every time we needed to add something she had it done in an instant… and always was a joy to work with. If you get Angeles Moreno to take on your project you are lucky indeed.

RICHARD KARPEL

I'm very picky when it comes to design, but I don't recall ever being as satisfied as I was with the logo and trade dress that Angeles created for us at Yoga Alliance. It is beautiful and brought together all of the visual elements that we wanted to incorporate into our brand strategy.

ALLIANCE HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS

KAREN WINSTON

If you are meeting with Angeles Moreno, you have discovered a real talent. I have worked with graphic designers over my 30+ years in marketing / communications and most don’t have the creativity to think outside the box or to proactively “own” the brand like Angeles; she’s a true Art Director. For Alliance Healthcare Foundation, Angeles has worked on a variety of digital, animated and print projects, including designing and standing up a new website; she loves a design challenge and always comes up with creative solutions.

In 2013, the Art San Diego Contemporary Art Fair made the smart decision to go green by using our ECOR® panels to print all their signage, vip tickets, and some exhibition walls. That's how I met their art director and graphic designer Angeles Moreno. I was impressed with her multi-faceted approach and highly refined visual sensibilities. Since then, we have been working together on different projects for my Company. She has proven that she has the ability to transform complex industrial and marketing concepts into clear infographics. She has also designed very effective advertising for our products and I'm sure we'll keep working together on many other projects in the future.

IDEP FILM & TV BARCELONA, FORMER DIRECTOR (1981 – 2008)

JULIAN ALVAREZ

I met Angeles in October 2002. She wanted to study 3D Modeling and Animation and offered her expertise in motion graphic design, art direction and programming in exchange. As an academic manager and audiovisual creator, I was interested in her proposal and accepted. The TV reported the bombings of the Iraq war, and it occurred to me that with her skills, we could work together to create a net-art expanded version of my short film "Images of a Bombardment" (1984) about the bombings of Barcelona in 1938. It was a long process in which Angeles expressed her creativity with total freedom. “Barcelona Savagely Bombed” was awarded for several multimedia awards for its innovative approach – way advanced in 2003 to what is currently known as “web documentary” or docuweb. Thank you Angeles for your creative contribution.

My life and business have both been richly and positively impacted by working with Anaimation. Angeles is a truly talented, loving and passionate artist and entrepreneur. Over the years we have collaborated on many different projects and each time Angeles understands my brand and vision completely. Honestly, I can not imagine what my life and website would be without her. When I think of Angeles I feel grateful to know her and honored to work with her. I give my highest recommendation to Anaimation. Share your vision, give Angeles your trust and watch your business grow!
