T-Shirt Printing & Logo Animation

Directions

If a club leader decides to use your logo, you will want to send them the AI file so that they can use it and customize the logo when printing and using it online. Although, they might not have your fonts that you used so you will need to create outlines with the text.

Everyone should open your AI logo file, press cmd + a to select all (make sure not layers are locked) and press cmd + shift + o which will create outlines with all the text so that it is now an object layer and not a text layer so that anyone can open and see it although you won't be able to edit the layer now. Export the file as PNG as well. You will later be uploading these files to Schoology.

Follow the print preparation directions given in class and make sure to use the correct bypass settings.

Print your tshirt or logo design on glossy paper. Take a photo in photobooth holding your image and upload to Schoology. Take a photo holding it as well as your animation storyboard.

Look over a few of the examples again from the previous animation planning directions.

• Then make a new AE composition that is 15 seconds long as it has to be 7-15 seconds in length.
• Import your AI file as Compostion like the screenshot below.
• Begin to animate it. Make sure to use TRAPS at least once. Be creative yet simple and professional.

Before class ends, take a screenshot of your AE workspace and timeline to show that your logo layers are in AE. Next class you will finish animating it.
