Grabbing non-design job to allow me to focus on learning After Effects. Best way to quickly learn?

Hey everyone! I've been out of school for a few years, but i've been actively designing and pushing myself to be better. Unfortunately I haven't managed to have a full time design career.

With some money from a temp job I did for a few months in addition to some tip money I was able to afford a brand new imac and a year of adobe CC. Until now I have been using CS6, which didn't include After Effects. So I was excited to try out some new programs.

I've always loved illustration, and for a while I tried to use t-shirt design as my medium for that, but it's very tough competition. So I tried After Effects and it's been really refreshing and fun for me, and something I see myself doing.

I got a job at a local coffee shop that offers full time and benefits to help me sustain myself while I learn After Effects, and will ideally give me some management experience to grab a project manager position somewhere down the line.

That being said, I have been progressing at a decent pace, but I feel like I could be learning a little faster with guidance. Is it worth it to try to learn it by myself or would going through a skillshare type program work?

TL;DR: Best place to learn AE fast?

Suggest a toothbrush that looks beautiful on the counter, AND that cleans my teeth well?

I've been using these Binchōtan toothbrushes in Black, White, and Red. But I don't feel they are as soft as dentist-recommended toothbrushes ought to be, and the heads are awfully small as well (aside from the expense).... any other suggestions?

I prefer manual toothbrushes, as the ADA says that manual are just as good, as long as you brush thoroughly.

Advertising student looking into studying design.

Hi, everyone!

I'm an advertising student in Brazil, I really enjoy the design side of things, and I've been aspiring becoming an art director. To achieve that, I'd really like to get a little bit more into design, so I come to you to ask:

  • Which books should I read to get down the fundamentals of design?
  • Are there any design related documentaries or movies that you guys would recommend?
  • Any other suggestions on studying and learning design.

Thank you very much for your time.

What happened to the quality of designs on Threadless?

I recently revisited the website, and the designs on t-shirts remind me of generic t-shirts you might find at Walmart or Target.

I remember the designs being very clever years ago. I used to buy friends and family shirts from there because I liked the art so much. But now, it all seems so generic.

Thoughts?
