Fellow motion graphic designers!

Question

Hi there! My name is Katie and I'm an animation student in The Netherlands. The reason I created this thread is that I hope to hear from more experienced people how they got interesed in animation! Some tips for this newbie are welcome too haha. Currently I'm using PS, AE and AI to create my animations. Premiere does the end work like putting scenes together. I'm really excited to hear about others experience and see their work!! &#10084;&#65039;

Hello, Katie. I got into motion graphic design because I was a print designer and a client asked if I could make some of my pretty designs move!

I've been working with AE for well over a decade now. Us motion graphic designers are a small drop in the bucket compared to all of Adobe. Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign are a much larger part of their business, so you may not find a big mograph community in this particular forum, but we're around! There are some great mograph discussions on Twitter as well like #mochat on Tuesday evenings (US time). There is the After Effects forum here on the Adobe forums where many of us reside. You could also check out /r/AfterEffects on Reddit (there's a motion graphics subreddit too, but the name escapes me at the moment and Reddit is blocked at work so I can't check it, but /r/AfterEffects has more activity anyway).
