The Striving Artist Podcast

I’ve animated the podcast cover of the Striving Artist Podcast I’m producing for Lauren Hom and Stefan Kunz. I’ve taken the the original design by Huyen Dinh and added some 3D extrusion to the word “Striving”. I then animated the Z axis of the letters, together with the extrusion, once I had rotated them into position.

The grain texture could be better. I just slapped a PNG grain on top of that and applied different modes. If anyone has an idea how to recreate that grainy shadow effect of the original artwork (see second slide), please let me know in the comments. Would really like to know how to achieve that in After Effects.

If you haven’t listened to the podcast yet, I don’t know what you’re doing with your life...head over to Striving Artist Podcast. This podcast is full of titbits and advice, crucial for any artists or entrepreneur.

If you enjoyed this content and would like to work together, please get in touch.
