"Finally, a book that not only tells you what button to push but why you should push it. Chris Jackson's After Effects for Designers combines the technical with the aesthetic, the art and the technique behind motion graphics design. I can't wait to get this into the hands of my students."—Robert Levine, Director of Production Support; Adjunct Instructor of Computer Graphics and Animation, Digital Media Production Program, Florida State University
