This is an un-authorized animated version of the book “Oswald as I Knew Him” written by George de Mohrenschildt (Author), Michael A. Rinella (Editor).

I did NOT do the actual book cover design. I downloaded the book cover artwork off of Amazon.com and cut it up into layers in Adobe Photoshop.

I mainly used the bezier pen tool to isolate the objects into layers. Some of the letter were isolated with Photoshop’s “Magic Wand” tool and other I just typed in using the IMPACT font ( heavily modified through scaling and kerning).

I imported the Adobe Photoshop (dot PSD) file into Adobe After Effects and animated them.

This piece of motion graphics may be used in a future podcast.
