9:50 Sketch – Developing a Personal Logo
Developing your personal brand
Last week we started reflecting on our skills and what kind of words reflect our skills and persona. Below are several very nice personal logos.
We are on to Step 4 of Developing our Personal Brand: Create the first iterations of your logo. The best way to start is by picking up a sketchbook and just drawing. Link to some trends for 2019, examples and inspiration.
Curating your own personal brand and logo can used with your college and career applications.

10:45 Break (15 Minutes)
11:00 – 11:50 After Effects
Last week we learned about the Six Foundations of After Effects and how they work as a workflow:
- Composition
- Layers
- Animations
- 3D
- Effects
- Rendering
This week we’ll take a basic solid and try out some different effects including mattes, lasers and explosions.
For Today – we are going to make a descriptive effect. For example, if we want something to shatter – we will create the word Shatter and then have it shatter apart. For Rain, it will rain. Flare, we’ll create a flare.
- Step 1 Create a New Composition, choose a duration of 5 seconds
- Step 2 CMD+Y will create a new Solid Layer. A solid layer is your background.
- Step 3 Add a text layer and position it above your solid layer
- Step 4 Type your descriptive effect (you may want to test out some effects)
- Test out different effects. Add the effect to either your text layer or your background layer.
- What happens when you add multiple effects or animate text?
- When complete, add to Render Queue and complete Render.
- Save file as: DescriptiveEffect_Lastname.mov
