Wouldn’t it be cool to have a fun, animated logo for your personal website or business? If so, this class is for you! Spoiler alert: It’s easier than you might think! All you’ll need for this class is an ipad with an apple pencil and the Procreate app. That’s right, you don’t even need an actual computer to create a dynamic animation.

This is a beginner level class that should be approachable to a broad spectrum of people—you don’t even even need to be “good” at drawing. No prior knowledge of animation is needed for this class. It will be helpful if you’ve messed around in Procreate, but even that isn’t completely necessary.

I’ll show you several techniques to create a personalized logotype even if you don’t have any prior typography or lettering experience. If you do—even better! Once you’ve created your own personal logo we’ll bring it to life through the magic of frame by frame animation using Procreate on the iPad. I’ll provide plenty of prompts and examples to give you ideas of what is possible. Finally, I’ll show you how to export your animated logo to use on your website, share on social media, and a number of other applications.

Procreate is a simple but powerful app and this class will show you what's possible and will open the doors for experimenting with even more animation—all from the comfort of your couch—or anywhere else you like to use your ipad!

This class will teach you how to create a fun, personal logo using Procreate on the iPad, and you’ll learn how to:

Illustrate and design a fun logo
Set up a file for animation in Procreate
Make your logo wiggle and vibrate naturally
Create a morphing animated loop
Export your logo for different uses

I learned animation through experimentation with morphing words (like we'll do in this class), and I’ve done it all without using animation specific software. I’ve since animated for clients like Cartoon Network, Adidas, and McDonalds. Through the process of animating my illustrations I’ve learned tips and tricks to streamline the process. Learning animation skills from someone like me can be helpful because I’ll be approaching it as an illustrator and I’ll be doing it all within Procreate on the iPad.

So what are you waiting for? Let's go make an animated logo — see you in class!
