After Effects for Graphic Design

Introduction 6 lectures 20:18 Using After Effects for design projects This course is very different from most other After Effects courses in that we’re going to be focusing on using After Effects for print design, photography, web graphics, illustration... and well, any type project you can imagine. Because... at it’s core, After Effects is a design tool, and it works just like other tools you may be familiar with from Adobe — most notably — Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. About the exercise files ** NOTE: Download the exercise files from Section 2, Lecture 7 video (Creating an Editorial Graphic) **The exercise files for this course include a series of assets that you can use to follow along with me during the course. I would also encourage you to use some of your own artwork as well. When you unzip the assets, there will be a few main folders — Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and so on… that correspond to the chapters in the course.

The Timeline panel in After Effects works like the Layers panel in the other apps, the Composition panel is similar to an Artboard in Illustrator, the Canvas in Photoshop, or a page in InDesign. Getting comfortable with the After Effects interface I'll be using the Creative Cloud 2018 version of After Effects, however, most of this course will work back the Creative Suite versions of After Effects. So, let’s launch the application. To begin, let’s choose the Small Screen workspace by going to the Window menu, and choosing Workspaces, then Small Screen. Importing Photoshop files After Effects can import a wide range of file types — including many graphic file formats, some 3d formats, and of course, a range of video formats. When importing Photoshop files, After Effects has two options… so I wanted to discuss those options. For these examples, you don’t need to follow along Exporting Photoshop, JPG and PNG files The key way we can use After Effects artwork in non-video related projects is to export a composition directly to the Photoshop format — complete with layers and full transparency support. Photoshop is one of the most widely used graphics applications, and it’s native PSD format is compatible with a wide range of other applications — from other Creative Cloud applications by Adobe — to all kinds of other applications available for both desktop computers and mobile devices.
