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.
