Motion Graphics & After Effects Animation
Master Adobe After Effects, Motion Design, Kinetic Typography, Visual Effects, 2D Animation, Compositing, Expressions & Professional Animation Workflows
About This Course
Motion Graphics & After Effects Animation is a comprehensive practical program designed for students who want to create professional animated graphics, branded content, visual effects, title sequences, explainer videos, social-media animations, advertisements, and composited visual content using Adobe After Effects.
The course begins with the fundamentals of motion design and animation. Students learn how animation communicates information, emotion, hierarchy, movement, and visual storytelling. They study timing, spacing, rhythm, anticipation, follow-through, easing, composition, scale, contrast, visual hierarchy, and other principles that help motion graphics feel intentional rather than mechanically animated.

Course Modules & Syllabus Timeline
5 Modules • Practical Lab Curriculum
Motion Design Fundamentals & Animation Principles
Students build a strong creative foundation by understanding how movement, timing, composition, and visual hierarchy work together in professional motion design.
- •What is motion graphics?
- •Motion design vs animation
- •Visual communication through motion
- •Timing
- •Spacing
Students analyze professional motion graphics and create simple animated studies demonstrating timing, easing, anticipation, overshoot, and visual hierarchy.
Adobe After Effects Interface & Project Architecture
Students learn the After Effects interface, composition structure, layers, project organization, and professional asset-management practices.
- •After Effects interface
- •Workspaces
- •Project panel
- •Composition panel
- •Timeline
Students create a professionally structured After Effects project containing organized footage, compositions, assets, pre-compositions, and multiple animation scenes.
Keyframe Animation & Motion Fundamentals
Students learn the essential techniques for creating controlled animation using keyframes and transform properties.
- •Keyframes
- •Position
- •Scale
- •Rotation
- •Opacity
Students create a multi-scene animation using position, scale, rotation, opacity, parenting, easing, and controlled motion paths.
Graph Editor, Advanced Timing & Smooth Motion
Students move beyond basic keyframes and learn how to create professional, polished movement through velocity and value-based graph editing.
- •Graph Editor
- •Speed Graph
- •Value Graph
- •Velocity
- •Acceleration
Students recreate professional motion examples by manually controlling graph curves, overshoots, bounce effects, staggered animations, and natural movement.
Shape Layers & Vector Motion Graphics
Students learn to create scalable vector-based motion graphics using After Effects shape layers and shape operators.
- •Shape layers
- •Rectangle shapes
- •Ellipse shapes
- •Polygons
- •Stars
Students create an animated icon set, infographic element, abstract background, and logo-inspired shape animation using shape layers.
