UI Animation in After Effects

UI Animation in After Effects - student project

For this project, I created a short UI-driven animation in After Effects that combines clean interface design, animated typography, and storytelling.

 

The concept is built around Steve Jobs’ net worth and the lesser-known fact that most of his wealth didn’t come from Apple, but from Pixar. I like using stories of well-known figures as a narrative hook—it makes otherwise “dry” information more engaging and memorable.

 

Visually, I kept the UI minimal, white, and simple, focusing on clarity and motion rather than decoration. The animation mixes UI elements with animated text in different styles to keep the pacing dynamic and visually interesting.

 

This is a relatively simple project, but that’s intentional—it’s meant to show how far you can go with good timing, clean design, and thoughtful animation, without overcomplicating things.

 

I encourage you to upload your own project as well—whether it’s a UI animation, text-driven story, or a hybrid of both. Focus on clarity, motion, and intention.
