Animated Typefaces with Animography
Animated Typefaces with Animography
In this course, you'll learn how to create an animated typeface within After Effects. You can type with it, just like any other typeface. But it has the added bonus of motion. It takes some effort to animate but once finished, you can apply it over and over again to quickly create consistent and powerful typographic content. Great as a personal project, and even better to sell to your clients as part of their motion branding.
What is this course about?
This resulted in our own collection of animated typefaces, and bespoke work for clients such as Nike, Adidas, NatWest Bank, Philadelphia 76'ers, Brewdog, The Game Awards and others.
Join me in this course to explore the intersection of typography and motion-design.
