Noble Kreative shows how to create a portrait comprised of animated type in After Effects.

It’s not quite the classic effect of creating a portrait using type as the halftone dots, but it’s a fun tutorial nonetheless. Check out this new motion graphics tutorial from Najib Khayati (Noble Kreative) that shows how to create an animated type that fills in the picture of a face in Ae.

As with most of Noble Kreative tutorials, you don’t require any premium plugins for Ae to follow along. If you are looking to learn how to create a halftone effect, then check out Mikey Borup’s tutorial on the process. Some plugins allow you to create that type of effect quickly.
