Exercise 6: Moving Poster Brief
+ Download Poster Frame
Go to Google Drive to Download the “moving poster” folder. The illustrator file includes a border that I want you to put over your poster in After Effects. Before you bring the illustrator file into After Effects however, you will change the “description” and the “designed by” text in the illustrator file. Make sure to install the typeface provided first.
