Learn how to create raw, gritty punk rock-inspired motion graphics in After Effects. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you step by step through building a rebellious S*x Pistols–style title card using expressions, displacement maps, grunge textures, and layering techniques.
You’ll see how to:
• Use expressions for effortless looping and repetition effects
• Apply displacement maps and textures to add movement and grit
• Build a background with paper, flags, and collage-style assets
• Add finishing touches with lens blur, color grading, posterize time, and film grain
• Make your design feel raw, cinematic, and undeniably punk rock
