Have you ever wished you could add your own, unique text animations to social media posts, blog, or videos but learning complex animation software, like After Effects, just isn't in the cards right now? Or, maybe you want to be able to create robust animations on the go using your iPad or Windows device? Well then, this class is for you.
Hi there! I'm Tracey Capone, I'm a Chicago area artist and teacher and, in this class, I'm going to show you how to create fun text animations using Adobe Fresco.
Adobe Fresco has been a go to part of my creative toolbox since it was introduced in 2019. When they introduced animation to the mix back in 2021, I was so excited because it meant I could create animations on the go in*one of my favorite apps, anywhere I could take my iPad!
I've spent the last several months, since animation was introduced, creating a variety of text animation sequences. In*this class, I'm going to walk you step by step through how I create them so that you can add a fun pop of animation to your own designs!
We'll start with an overview of the animation and motion tools in Adobe Fresco and how they work.
Next, we'll sit down and sketch out our animations so we can plan out our end results and give ourselves a good head start in creating our final set.
Then we'll create five different animations together
A Wiggle
The Jumping Bean
Flashing Lights
The Write on Effect
and Mask On
As a bonus, I'll also show you how you can easily animate your favorite textures because, I'm sure you'll agree, texture makes everything infinitely better!
Now, if you're like me, and not a hand letterer, don't worry! We're going to using fonts to create our animations.
We'll discuss
Which fonts work best for each type of animation sequence,
How to pull in and set up your fonts, and
How to create your animation so that it's natural to the human eye.
Finally, we'll talk about the various ways you can export your animations so that you can load them on sites like GIPHY or on to your website, newsletter or blog.
The best part? The animation techniques you learn in this class can be applied to other illustrations you create in Adobe Fresco, not just text and I'll be using tools that everyone has access to, whether you're on the free or premium version.
Are you ready to punch up your posts and videos with some whimsical animations? Come join me in class and let's start animating!
PLEASE NOTE: The class is beginner friendly but it is recommended that you have at least some experience with Adobe Fresco. If you are brand new to the app, I recommend starting with one of the great introductory classes out there, before taking this one.
I'm a full time artist and teacher out of the Chicago area.
I've been using Adobe products for close to 20 years, for both my photography and illustration work. While I'm not a motion designer, I've been using After Effects to create my own animations from scratch, for my blog, social media, YouTube tutorials and my online classes for the last several years. When Adobe introduced animation and motion in Fresco in 2021, I was so excited because it meant I could also create my animations anywhere I wanted, right on my iPad.
I look forward to seeing you in class! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask in the Discussion section of the class. If you would prefer, please feel free to email me at[email*protected]
Happy Creating!
