Collage Animation: Creative Motion Graphics with Adobe Photoshop & Adobe After Effects

Are you ready to make collage animations? Learn how to create amazing motion graphics in a simple way with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects

What will I learn?

Using cropped images and video files, we will design incredible worlds without having to be great illustrators.

Step 1: Idea and Sketch

We will start developing the idea. I will show you the best web pages to download the material for your project for free, and we will design a quick sketch of what our project will be.

Step 2: Design

Next, you will learn two different methods to crop images quickly and very effectively with Adobe Photoshop. We will pass all our material to Adobe After Effects.

Step 3: Motion Graphics & Animation

Once here, we will animate the images and integrate the videos in the same way that we do in our studio.

Finally, we will retouch the colors and add filters. I will give you some special tips to give our collage animation a unique and professional touch.

At the end of the course, we will see an alternative method to easily convert simple illustrations into animated collages.

Who is this class for?

This course is ideal for creative artists, animators, illustrators, designers, ... and in general for anyone who wants to experiment with a different, attractive, and very original style.

If you like to learn new techniques to take your animations & motion graphics to the next level, this is your course.

Requirements:

To take this course, you will need to have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects installed on your computer.

This is an easy-to-follow course; However, it is recommended to have basic knowledge of After Effects and Photoshop; if you have not used After Effects before, you can take my previous course: "Animate your illustrations in record time using Adobe After Effects" first.
