Christmas is getting pretty close now so I just wanted to wish you happy holidays & a happy new year through the art of lettering and animation!
Everything in the animation was created by me except for the music, I only have limited skills at playing the guitar and piano! I created the background in photoshop, I drew out the lettering in pencil, and imported it into some animation software. Next I traced all of the paths for each letter placing points, then individually animated each letter.
I’m giving away a little Christmas gift of a wallpaper image for your phone, tablet or computer that will be available exclusively to Newsletter subscribers only. So you have until Wednesday the 23rd 2015 9am PST / 5pm GMT time to join the Newsletter.
