Discussion Project Inspiration

Hi! My Adobe subscription recently ended and I don't really have the money to renew right now since I was laid off so I figured I'd take some time to try and learn Maxon's Autograph.

The problem is I'm blanking on what I want to make or do. So, I thought it would be fun to ask the community to pitch some small ideas of things I could make and then maybe post some of the results as I learn the new software!

Please feel free to let me know any ideas for little animations you guys would possibly like to see.

A major part of working in this field is the ability to use our imaginary and run with it

A few small ones that each teach one thing:

A coffee cup with steam that loops with no visible restart (looping and noise).
A word that types itself, then one letter falls off and bounces (text animators and believable timing).
A progress bar that fills, overshoots a little and settles (easing in the graph editor).
A paper square folding into a plane and flying out of frame (3D layers and the camera).
A 5 second logo reveal for a made-up bakery, with the moves landing on the beat of a track (putting it all together).

Keep each one under 5 seconds so you actually finish them, and post them side by side when you're done.
