Create Infographics Cartoon Animation

Bring your creative ideas to life with 2D Animation using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects. In this practical, project-based course, you’ll learn how to transform static illustrations into engaging, professional animations from start to finish.

You’ll begin by learning how to prepare and organize artwork in Adobe Illustrator, creating clean, animation-ready characters, objects, icons, and graphic elements. Then, you’ll take your designs into Adobe After Effects and learn how to animate them using keyframes, layers, shape animation, parenting, masking, motion paths, and other essential animation techniques.

Throughout the course, you’ll work with real-world animation workflows and learn how to create smooth movement, expressive character actions, animated typography, transitions, visual effects, and polished motion graphics. You’ll also discover how to control timing, spacing, easing, and motion to make your animations feel more natural and professional.

This course is designed to take you from the basic principles of 2D animation to creating complete animated projects. By the end, you’ll have the skills and workflow needed to create animations for YouTube videos, social media, advertisements, explainer videos, presentations, promotional content, and creative projects.
