Hello, my name is Adam, professional designer, and animator with over 6 years of experience now. In this class you will be learning about the logo animation principles in Adobe After Effects CC, we will be focusing more on the techniques rather than the theory. Since people react better to videos than images, logo animation can help the designer and the brand connect deeper with their customers. So, in this course you will learn about: Coming up with the plot and logo restrictionsThe basic principles of logo animationMaking a simple but neat logo reveal and disappearCreating a more advanced logotype animation using the principles of animationThis course is for beginners in logo animation, but being familiar with Adobe After Effects is recommended in order for you to focus on the animation techniques rather than the software.
