I’ve been wanting to learn After Effects for a long time. It’s a really cool program – like Photoshop on steroids.  When I saw Dan Meyer’s 2009 Annual Report, I knew that trying to do one of my own was the perfect opportunity to start learning.

It took me about a day to get this done, and I did not spend much time for thinking up the content (you’ll see.. hehe). The point of the exercise was the animation, not necessarily the information. Hopefully, my future projects will have more substance and a smaller dose of vanity.

Enjoy. I’m pretty proud of it – not bad for an economist.
