A sound effect (or audio effect) is an artificially created or enhanced sound, or sound process used to emphasize artistic or other content of films, television shows, live performance, animation, video games, music, or other media.

The emotional impact of sound and music in 2D animation extends beyond individual scenes. It permeates the entire storytelling experience, from the opening sequence to the closing credits. Sound and music provide a cohesive thread that connects the narrative arcs, intensifying the emotional journey of the characters and the audience. 

Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics editor and design program.

It a industry-leading graphic design tool that lets artist design anything can imagine – from logos and icons to graphics and illustrations – and customize it with professional-level precision, as well as time-saving features like Repeat for Patterns or Global Edits. 

In animation, "effects" refer to the animation of non-character elements, such as fire, rain, explosions, magical sparks, weather effects, or even imaginary creatures. These elements add visual interest and can enhance storytelling by creating a more immersive and dynamic environment.

Adobe Illustrator is a premium application used for creating vector graphics for print or the web1. Some of Illustrator’s core capabilities include:

1 - Drawing freehand with a variety of digital brushes, pencils, and pens.

2 - Advanced color options for creating color palettes, filling shapes, using gradient color schemes, and mixing different color effects.

3 - A “Layer's” feature that allows you to split the components of your design across different layers, making it easy to edit one layer without impacting the others.

4 - Turning prompts into editable graphics.

5 - Adding text to any design.

6 - Creating designs at any size.

7 - Creating custom logos, icons, and more using 3D effects, gradients, and type

Sound effects can be used to build tension, establish tone and even replace dialogue. 

Animation sound effects can make or break an action scene. If there's no appropriate sound effect for the action on screen, it will feel flat. Think about all the super intense fight scenes in anime where there are just punches and grunts without any background noise or music playing in the background. It doesn't feel as epic as when you hear something like an explosion go off with each punch or kick!

Animation sound effects should be used sparingly throughout an animated series so that they don't become overused or boring; however, there are times when sound effects will work better than dialogue (like when two characters are talking over one another). Often times these "talking over" moments can be replaced by a single short sound effect such as a whistle blowing or something similar instead of two characters speaking simultaneously.
