Unlock advanced shape layer tools that only reveal themselves when working with native vector files. This session dives into powerful, often overlooked features like repeating systems, write-on techniques, boolean operations, and variable fonts, all
designed to help you build complex animations with surprising ease. Together, we’ll create a looping animated cover artwork using a focused set of tools that make shapes and text feel musical and expressive. The result works just
as well with sound as it does muted, perfect for modern platforms.
