You may be able to do that kind of stuff in Vegas Pro or Premiere Pro, but that does sound like something you could do in After Effects.

>>285480
And can I do the full video on After Effects or is it just the animations and then putting them on the video with something like Sony Vegas?

>>285507
sony vegas, after effects and premiere are the same thing they process video. all of them have good things and bad things but after effects is the best one if you want to add effects to your video and render it to youtube, sony vegas is the lightest (around 200-400 mb the last time i checked compared to 2gb for after effects) and also sony vegas doesn't need that much ram and the interface is more friendly for beginners. premiere pro and final cut are for more advance stuff like full lenght films or for people that have more experience. i recommend after effects cc since the motion tracking is probably what you're looking for.

>The client wants this style and I cant seem to change her mind.
So what?

why not just handwrite it in the style you want then go over it in illustrator?

even if you are able to link me to a tutorial or a video where I can see how to do it and call me a dumbass for not finding it on my own, I'd be very grateful

Honestly, as simple as it seems, thats a pretty complicated effect to get right. I've been working with Photoshop professionally for over a decade, and I would still struggle to make a gif like that.

Nevertheless, I can steer you in the right direction. You will have to do each frame by hand. I would start by downloading a gif of a dripping effect that you like, then pull it apart frame-by-frame.

So lets say you want to make the word "Awesome" drip off the bottom. And maybe you have a gif that says "cool" with a nice dripping effect. So erase the "cool" part of each frame of the downloaded gif, just leaving the drips. Now position the drips onto your 'Awesome' text, duplicate the drips until you span the additional length of the 'Awesome' text, just remember that whatever positioning/duplicating/scaling you do has to be applied for each frame. Over, and over, and over again. The numbers on the top bar of the Photoshop app are your friend. X & Y positioning and W & H sizing will keep your drips aligned and sized perfectly between frames.

When it comes down to it, Photoshop is about stealing other people's graphics and tweaking them for your own purposes. Its more of a 'content manipulation' tool than a 'content creation' tool. I'm sure people will argue me on that, but the majority of PS users are not digital painters.

i don't think any software made by adobe could simulate liquid the only one i could think of is after effects either animating fluid with distortion tools or with a particle system plugin (trapcode's)

maybe try searching on yt for after effects liquid/fluid tutorials (assuming you know the basics)

also for simulating liquid the standard sofware is realflow

This is the style Im going for and obviously this is a raster image, but how did they get a page from punpun to be a big enough file where it didn't get pixelated as fuck when they stretched it out to fit on a tshirt?

>>285259
use illustrator and learn about vectors va raster

>>285299
So for that Punpun shirt did they just take a page from the manga and use image trace to turn it into a vector? Or did they like physically scan a page and make it a huge file so it could be a raster large enough to fit on a shirt?

Depends on what you wanna do. I'd say start learning photoshop, then move to indesign. With that you can create vectors, you can edit and manipulate photos and then put all those things together to make a booklets and stuff like that. You'll be a pretty well rounded designer. But keep doing small things with the other programs while learning the new ones.

Firstly, I will agree that your version is an improvement over theirs and that their original is generally pretty awful.

But you sending them a "corrected" version of their own logo implies theirs is no good to begin with (which probably won't go down well with whoever designed it) and that their designer's job can be done better by some random on the internet who works for free.

Also, logo changes aren't always a quick "oh this looks better let's use this now" kind of affair. Any changes to the brand will most likely require deliberation from company owners/shareholders, not to mention the need to change any stationary, signs, business cards, brand guidelines or anything else with their logo currently on it. Which takes time and costs money.

Out of curiosity how did you word your email when you sent it to them?

are you serious?

>Out of curiosity
Well I didn't present it as a "corrected" version. I said it was a more contemporary take at their identity and that I liked their name and it inspired me to do this and it's free and they can do as they please with it, no questions asked.
Something along those lines.

what do you mean ?

any tips or thing I could do to improved them.

Fucking motion graphics and interface design/uxp. Dont expect to live off print and logo jobs alone. Branding is fun, but is mostly farmed out to larger agencies, not freelancers like you and me. I say start learning AE if you dont know it!

>>285102
I will second this.

Thanks! Is the advertisement market a lot like the print and logo job market, in that its hard to live off ?

Im def interested in motion graphics, on the fence about interface design/uxp, need to learn more about that.

Btw Im assuming AE is After Effects

As you said, there is Gimp for Photoshop. Also, Inkscape for Illustrator e Scribus for Indesign.

the initial animation is laggy and the last part was awkward as fuck.

>>284607
I suppose you are using ae for this.
The animation is a little stiff, try softenning the keyframes.
>ctrl+shift+f9 for the first movement keyframe
>shift+f9 for the las one
>f9 for the middle ones.
Or you can tweak it through the graph editor and have more control

>>284655
Thanks anon.

It could possibly just be that it's a compressed gif, I can post a webbum later.

This is just some old school hand drawn animation. It was probably colored in photoshop and composited in after effects.

>>284402
what i was afraid of... looks amazing and it probably took a few months..

>>284406
Well, that animation is over 5 minutes long. You could make something, you know, a lot shorter. Maybe 10 or even 5 seconds. You could use it as a learning experience that you can apply to something more ambitious.
