Learn to use expressions in After Effects by creating a dynamic logo
In this online course, art and creative director Gabriel Suchowolski, better known as microbians, teaches you different animation techniques using expressions in After Effects.
Learn how to change the shape, color, or movement of your animations using simple controllers. It may seem too good to be true, but by modifying four settings, you can easily generate different versions of the same logo in record time. Gabriel also gives you a complete introduction to generative design and dynamic logos, also known as flexible identities.
