Learn or practice animation in Adobe After Effects by creating a fun set of animated icons. If you’re a graphic designer, illustrator, or anyone wanting to learn how to animate in 2D, this is a great place to start!

You’ll learn how to:

• create icons starting with basic shapes in Adobe Illustrator.
• prepare your icons for animation.
• bring your icons into After Effects.
• set keyframes to animate scale, position, rotation and more.
• animate lines drawing in and out.
• create a simple mask to hide parts of a graphic.
• animate an object along a path.
• export your animations as a GIF or movie file.
• and much more!
