Digital Tutors - Storytelling with Type in After Effects
In this series of After Effects tutorials, you'll learn a step-by-step approach to creating a type-based project - in this case, a Public Service Style Announcement on Food Safety.
We take some time at the beginning of the tutorial to talk about many of the techniques used to create the assets for the project in Illustrator. We don't look at the process for creating every piece, but the techniques you will learn are exactly what you would need to create every asset for this project on your own.
