Almost all motion graphics artists today use After Effects, Photoshop, or Illustrator to some degree
in their projects. But how do they decide which tool is best for the job and how can they utilize the
various components in the Creative Suite together for the most efficient and effective workflow? This
book cuts to the chase and shows readers an in-depth view of the various components in the Creative
Suite as best utilized in professional motion graphics projects. With 4-color artwork from real-life
productions sprinkled throughout, this inspiring and practical guide will show intermediate to advanced
readers what they need to know to incorporate CS5 in their own work. In the first half of the book,
readers learn about design essentials as related to motion graphics, including typography, logo animation,
repairing and retiming footage, stylizing footage, background design, 3D objects and cameras, audio design,
and vector design. The second half of the book focuses on real-world design explorations including chapters
on broadcast package design, title sequences, DVD menu design, motion control 3D, character animation
techniques, and panoramic images.
