As you can see from the intro to this site or the animated icons in the navigation, these small designs can make a big impact. They're just as easy to use as any other font—add them in Flash, super them in Premier or keyframe them Photoshop.
Place your cursor over the animations in the left nav of this site, they show several of the series character designs, such as the globe, gear or clock designs from Altemus Cuts Two,the lightbulb from Altemus Cuts Three and the splat bursts from Altemus Bursts. The animation below also makes use of a number of the character designs that are part of a series, such as the camera iris designs in Altemus Pinwheels. These, and many more design series are a quick and easy way to create animations.
