Adobe After Effects is a VFX and Motion Design software part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite. It took me a couple Youtube tutorials and a Domestika crash course just to get familiar with the interface and some basic functionalities to make this website opener work.
One of the discoveries I recently made is these huge online marketplaces of motion graphics Templates and Presets. It simplifies the designing process by using others previous work. The coolest templates are not free, but for a small amount of cash you can save houndreds of hours of programming effects.
For this website opener I was looking for something in the same brand theme of Retrofuturism, Tech, Arcade and Pop Culture like in the rest of the web.
So here is the result:
The Rise of Digital Assets
The definition of a digital asset is “anything that exists in binary data which is self-contained, uniquely identifiable, and has a value or ability to use.” The first ever digital assets were those early computer programs itselves.
Later on in the 90´s, music, video and images digitalized and acquired digital intrinsic value. With the irruption of the blockchain technology and the capacity of tokenization of almost everything, digital assets could be entirely created, traded and secured in the digital world.
The next generation of 3D Printing technology will give us the ability to build anything anywhere. Digital assets will become critical in space exploration for example, where the supply chains are expensive and deadly slow. Printing spare parts for your Mars Rover onsite will soon become a reallity. When we will see a food printer like in the Enterprise of Star Trek?
Is a new era for designers and digital assets marketplaces.
