Workflow for animations

Figma Logo Design: Figma
After Effects Logo Animation: Affter effects
Lottie Logo HTML: Lottie

AEUX is an useful plugin to import designs from Figma to AE. Using Lottie developers can implement complex but low weight animations in seconds. Animations will be available for download soon!

What I learned

Every icon set is different. However, if it is built based on strong rules, designs can be done faster and icons will have an amazing style consistency.
