Job Description

2D Animators are professional creatives who use computer design applications to create the illusion of motion in static images. They work on everything from film and television to digital design and advertising. 2D Animators tend to work on simpler animated projects than their 3D counterparts, but they still do creative, technically demanding work on a diverse range of evocative projects. This overview will explain more about what a 2D Animator does, what they typically earn, and how to learn the skills required to land a job.

Becoming a 2D Animator will require you to demonstrate proficiency in several interconnected graphic and motion design skills. These include knowledge of software applications like Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator and soft skills such as knowledge of 2D animation techniques and trends. You will need to use your job materials to demonstrate that you have technical skills proficiency and a creative eye capable of building elaborate 2D animated projects. Some jobs will require more specific skills training, such as knowledge of story-boarding practices and techniques for jobs that require this background.

While many 2D Animators will have college degrees, it isn't strictly necessary for all 2D animation career paths. Other methods of receiving 2D animation training can set you up for future success in the industry, such as career-focused skills training programs. 2D Animators are unlikely to need a professional certification in any skill or design application, but these can help an animator strengthen their resumes. Prospective 2D Animators will need hands-on design experience to demonstrate to potential employers their job materials.

Skills

2D Animators rely on many technical skills to bring their designs to life, though the importance of these tools will vary depending on the project you are working on. The most commonly used tools include Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Cinema 4D. They may also use Illustrator and XD to work on animated designs for web applications. 2D Animators will use Photoshop and Illustrator to create basic visual assets that are given motion through the traditional process of creating the illusion of motion using sequential images, and After Effects and Premiere Pro are used to alter film files to include more elaborate animated assets digitally. The amount you need to use each skill will vary depending on the job title and firm you are working for, but most 2D Animators will be expected to learn all of these tools in some capacity.
