I'm looking for someone who's good with After Effects to make short logo animations of around 5 seconds in length. This would be very simple work for someone who knows how to use AE.

You can see the type of thing I'm talking about at the start of the videos below -





Music doesn't have to be included. Just the animation.

I can pay $20 for each animation.

Please contact me if you're interested.

I just want to code a very simple image for my blogger blog. My coding skills are very rusty so I'm not sure how to go about it. I just want it as a piece of html code that I can paste into the blog. I want each of the social media icons to link to the relevant page (I know how to do that) but I'm not sure how to have the font as part of the same bit of code without using CSS

To put it simply I'd like to code the image below without CSS

I'd be very grateful to anyone who can help

I've been using the website Fiverr for the last 8 months and just thought I'd give my views on it. Well after 8 months I've finally come to the conclusion that it's just not worth it. I managed to make a good amount of money on there, especially in the last 4 months as I got more established but the amount of stress and rude people you have to put up with for such a paltry amount per gig means it becomes a thankless task.

I have mostly been doing writing gigs on there as well as stuff like simple graphic design and some SEO stuff.

Although I think the site is great in theory, the trouble is that it creates an environment where people get tempted to sell services that are worth way more than $5. inevitably these are the gigs that attract the most attention. The biggest culprit for this type of gig is logo design. There are thousands of people offering logo design on there and even the ones that are ranked right at the top of the search results have tonnes of bad feedback from people who expected miracles. You could say it's the seller's fault in the first place for even offering a service such as logo design so cheaply or you could say the buyers shouldn't expect so much for so little. Either way it's going to happen. There is a massive demand for cheap logo design which you can see just by looking at the requested gigs on there.

This isn't the only example. I personally tried to offer gigs that I felt I'd be happy to do for $5 but its incredibly tricky to think of such a thing. If you think about it, for someone who wants to make a decent living, $5 is about 10-15 mins work at the very most. How many jobs can be done well in that amount of time? The answer is very few. Unless you have some natural talent that sets you apart from others. Being able to do good voiceovers would be one example.

The other thing is when you're providing services so cheaply it feels like a huge slap in the face when someone leaves you a bad feedback, especially when you know you went above and beyond. One of the gigs I used to offer was brainstorming names for companies. I had one person who I must have spent hours working with to try and come up with a name he'd like. At the end I'd come up with more than 50 names for them to choose from. You might think after all this effort the person would think, 'well even if I don't like any of the names, at least he tried'. Nope. He simply left a feedback saying 'didn't like'.

Eventually it gets to the point where you realist unless you can offer some highly automated service that people want regularly then it just becomes too much of a grind. I know many people who went on there, like me, with good intentions and after a few weeks decided it's not worth the hassle.

I'm glad I decided to close my account as it gives me time to focus on improving my skills instead of running on a hamster wheel constantly for $5 per gig. I think Fiverr is a great site in concept but in reality it falls short.

I'd be interested to hear about other people's experiences with Fiverr.

If you read all that well done

I just purchased a theme for a new design blog I want to set up from theme forest. I liked the look of it and thought I'd just customise a few things to suit. But now I've installed it it's basically just a skeleton with all the elements missing. I realise it's probably me being incredibly stupid due to having no experience with Wordpress but I'd like to just get it set up how it was when I saw it on theme forest. Is it possible to do that or is this just how all wordpress themes are?

I'm trying to animate a logo in after effects. What I want to do is super simple but unfortunately I'm brand new to the program.

All I want to do is make the text appear with some kind of fade in effect and then make the three bars appear one after the other from smallest to largest.

Can anyone give me pointers on how to do this?

I'd be happy to pay someone if not. Would incredibly simple for someone who knows how to use AE
