Adobe After Effects for Motion Graphics - Nottingham Trent University
Description
Are you a designer who’d like to learn how to add animation to their designs? Are you a content creator interested in producing your own animated logos, maybe for your YouTube channel or website? If so, this is the course for you. Creative professionals are increasingly required to have a one-person-band approach to producing their work. Increasing your software skillset will not only make you more employable but will also open up further creative avenues for you to explore. On this course, you will: • Work primarily with Adobe Illustrator and After Effects. • Learn how to use and manipulate basic shapes and text to create and animate a simple but eye-catching logo. • Build on these skills by learning how to utilise effects and expressions to enhance the design. • Integrate your designs into real world settings. There will be a combination of teaching and learning methods with an emphasis on demonstration, re-creation and experimentation.
