Introduction
Do you love a good poster?
Do you want to learn to create memorable moving posters? Are you interested in attracting attention to certain societal issues or events? We will dive deep into different ways of creating effective visual messages and making them move. You can come as you are with any level of knowledge about posters, however, we will start from scratch with motion graphic program called After Effects.
Content
During six lessons, we will learn how to build effective concepts for posters. We will also go through the basics of popular motion graphic programs called After Effects and Blender. After Effects will be the main focus and Blender will work as a secondary program for the ones who wishes to take their sketch into 3D form. You can come up with any subject you are currently interested in, whether it’s an upcoming gig to be marketed or a societal issue that has bothered your mind lately or a completely made up event or issue!
After this course you will have:
- Basic understanding how to sketch an effective poster idea

- One ready or almost-ready poster (depending on you)

Course leader
Hey! My name is Hanna-Katri and I’m an artist originally from Finland, who is currently pursuing their master studies at Konstfack. I fell in love with poster art at a very young age by promoting events at our high school. Later, during my bachelor studies at Aalto-university, I’ve studied poster art in many forms, especially in motion. During my career as poster artist I’ve had clients from the field of poetry, events and cinema.
