Textures are powerful and can completely change the look of a design. They are even more powerful when combined together using transfer modes to create entirely new textures.

Polish is the final "icing on the cake" in motion design. It's the finishing touches we can add to really give a motion design piece that special sense of "wow!"

There is a simple design rule, that when used correctly, can dramatically improve your motion design.

This rule is called "The Rule of Thirds."

In this video we cover how to quickly set up the rule of thirds in After Effects using proportional grids.

This is a simple and easy process.

In today's video I am going to talk to you about 5 essential plug-ins that every pro motion designer should have in their arsenal.

These plug-ins are essential in my book.

Here are links to the 5 plug-ins:

Overlord Battle Axe
Frischluft Curves
Animation Composer
Red Giant Universe
Boris FX Sapphire

Today we are talking about plug-ins.

Many motion designers can become hyper focused on the plug-ins when they should instead be focused on the other aspects of motion design.

I get asked a lot.."which plug-in should I use for this and which plug-in should I use for that."

So when should you use plug-ins and when is it best to stay away? That's what we're talking about in today's video.

I started designing inside of After Effects in 2009 for 3 simple reasons.

1. After Effects is non-destructive
2. After Effects has a lot more effects/plug-ins/possibilities
3. Minimal animation setup is required

Today's video is all about choosing to design in After Effects instead of Photoshop.

I get asked all the time, how do I come up with ideas? How do I figure out what I'm going to create?

There's so many possibilities when it comes to motion graphics.

The truth is that unlimited creativity creates unlimited problems.

So today, we're talking about how to create something really unique. How to be truly creative.

We're talking about Creative Constraints.

There are so many tutorials out there that just teach you how to push buttons.

The problem is that these tutorials and lessons do not teach you how to be creative and think for yourself.

What you end up creating is the exact same result as everyone else.

It's important that you learn from lessons that teach you how to also apply techniques to your own work.

In today's video we are talking about why online learning is more than just button pushing.
