About Linearity
Overview
Linearity provides design and animation tools called Linearity Curve and Linearity Move. Curve is a vector design application for creating logos, illustrations, branding materials, and marketing graphics. Move is a motion graphics tool for animating illustrations, logos, and marketing content without complex timeline interfaces.
Both applications are available on Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The tools target marketing teams, brand teams, and individual designers who need professional vector design and animation capabilities without the complexity of traditional design suites.
