When I graduated from school, I knew that I needed to do 4 things well:
When it came down to choosing the right tool to deliver these results, I noticed that nearly all the designers who did amazing motion work used After Effects.
Now, granted, this was a few years ago, but guess what? Not much has changed. Despite not being able to deliver interactive prototypes, After Effects remains the best in class tool for high fidelity animation work.
I also knew that in order for me to get results, I would have to deliver consistent results AND be able to work quickly.
The iterative nature of UX and product design is so vastly different than the motion graphics world. In the motion graphics world, you only have to worry about it looking good. In the UX product world, you have to be able to work quickly, iterate quickly, and build in a way that makes sense to engineers.
Because nobody was teaching this stuff, I had to develop my own workflows and seek out mentors. Fortunately, I was able to meet some amazing folks like my buddy Eric who helped design motion standards for Microsoft, and Matt, who helped develop motion for both Apple and Google.
From these guys I was able to figure out the perfect easing and duration numbers to have my motion prototypes looking perfect every time.
Because, look. Here's the truth. I'm not a classically trained animator. I'm a designer who learned to animate my work. I never learned how to animate fancy cartoon characters.
I had no need to. I just needed to learn how to take my UX product design files and turn them into amazing animations.
Because of my philosophy of using motion to have a strong portfolio, I was able to win pitches and work on UI motion projects for clients including Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Nordstrom, HBO, Target, Hanes, AT&T, T-Mobile, Philips, MTV, UNAIDS, and a whole lot of other places.
Being able to design AND do motion proved an unfair advantage.
And now I want to share this with you.
I've created a series of 'rapid learning' courses just for UX/UI & Product Designers. There's no fluff. This is all my top techniques and workflows, best practices, and strategies. I've stress tested every technique on real world projects.
Look, I know what it's like to look at some amazing UI animation and think there's no way you'll ever be delivering that quality of result.
You have to trust me. You can.
In this UI Animation Jet Pack bundle, I'm including my new UI Animation Motion Standards course. This is a short course and you will learn exactly how to make smooth professional looking motion.
I've had thousands of designers take my courses and most of them have no motion experience at all. I know you can do this.
And check this out: when I get invited to teach a UI animation workshop to companies that include Slack, Dropbox, Salesforce, Kayak, Capital One, Oracle, and more, I've noticed that all the top 'rockstar' designers use After Effects.
This is a valuable skill that will give you an edge, whether it's getting that job you want, or building or scaling your freelance business.
I also offer a 30 day money back guarantee. This removes all the risk for you. You can grab the bundle, kick the tires, and if you're not happy, just let me know and I'll refund you with no questions asked.
At the end of the day, I've personally had amazing results by adding this skill to my design tool-belt. The designers I've trained have also gotten these results. I'd like to help you have this unfair advantage and use motion to make your work stand out, sell your ideas more effectively, and get those paying clients you want.
