back to school 2025

As students head back to class in 2025, one trend is leading the charge in design: motion graphics combined with short-form video content. These aren’t just flashy effects—they’re essential for catching attention in a fast-scroll world.

Whether you’re a school promoting events, a business riding the back-to-school wave, or a content creator, this trend is your key to connecting with your audience.


Short-Form Video: Your Back-to-School Must-Have


Short videos dominate TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts—and for good reason:

  • Quick and engaging for busy parents and students.

  • Perfect for storytelling in seconds.

  • Boosts shareability and social reach.


Design Tip: Pair bold text with smooth transitions, bright accents, and hand-drawn school elements for a fun, authentic feel.


Trending Motion Design Styles


Here’s what’s hot right now:


  • Kinetic Typography: Bold words moving to music beats.

  • Retro & Scrapbook Vibes: Stickers, doodles, and layered textures.

  • Grain & Paper Textures: Adds warmth and depth to digital animations.

  • Loop-Friendly Graphics: Seamless animations for endless playback.
