Author | After Effects for Designers

After Effects for Designers teaches design students, artists, and web, graphic, and interactive designers how to design, develop, and deploy motion design projects using Adobe After Effects.

Each chapter balances fundamental aspects of time-based design with related techniques and explores the principles of animation; composition and layout; visual hierarchy; typography; cinematic storytelling; 3D modelling; compositing, and more.

Readers will build professional-world examples in every chapter and, as a result, learn how to both design effectively using After Effects and practically apply these skills in client-based work.

An accompanying companion website includes complete project files for each chapter exercise, and additional video tutorials.
