Course Description
Are you a Graphic Designer planning to get into Motion Design and Animation? Logo animations are the perfect way to start your Adobe After Effects journey.
This course is for anyone looking to improve their After Effects skills and learn how to create beautiful logo animations that they can sell to their clients. A good custom logo animation is priced between $1,000 and $9,000.
We teamed up with Ina Gavazova to make this course, who is an experienced Motion Design and Animation expert working for clients such as Nissan, Yale and Unicef. Her passion and energy for animation and motion graphics is infectious, join her if you want to have a great time while learning!
You will be guided through all the essential motion design and animation techniques in Adobe After Effects including Keyframes, Shapes and Transitions while working on exciting real-life logo animation projects:
Mascot/Character animation - a whimsical llama head with a cute little bell on her neck.
Kinetic typography animation - a dynamic text reveal full of character and energy.
Morphing icons animation - a modern minimalist animation showcasing many of the 12 principles of animation.
So why should you take this course? Here are a few reasons in the words of our students:
"I'm a graphic designer, and I've been telling myself I'm too busy to learn but motion design has always been really exciting to me and something I wanted to get into. After Effects can seem complicated at times and it can frustrate me when I look up tutorials and they're hard to follow, but you guys are excellent teachers!" Stephen
"In my previous job, I did learn a bit of After Effects but then ended up rarely using it so I forgot almost everything. Now that I am looking for a new job I want to be more marketable, round out my skills, add more value and just make really cool stuff. This course came at the perfect time!" Jeremy
"I've been looking for so long for a course like this. I've tried a few others but they always just glossed over how to do actually do things. In this course, Ina really goes into detail, explains everything and encourages you to experiment with everything." Susan
It's your turn to get started in Motion Design and master Adobe After Effects! Enroll to this course now, you won't regret it!
Have fun learning!

easy to undestand and very precise and strong guidence
By Milan Martaus on 3/23/2025
It is, let's say, Advanced beginner course, exactly what I needed, to see the process of creating real projects. The techniques used are basically simple, but effective. The author is likeable, gets straight to the point and doesn't unnecessarily talk about obvious things :) Some courses last twice as long as they should. I am looking at you, Louay Zambarakji :) I am satisfied with this course and I want more from this author!
