  How does one create the swirly shapes
  as grow and morph. I’m new to AE. I want to create a presentation to recognize the growth of an organization, i.e. setting standards, milestones, new building facility.
  Are there any resources online that has tutorials for simple high impact effects? Can anyone recommend a cool effect? Any places online to get ideas so that one may know what is possible?

  Thanks

  they may have used an effect called 3d stroke by trapcode. it is similar to the sstandard stroke effect in that it can be use to trace a mask/path an animate that line along the path. 3d stroke gives more control over the line with settings for taper and softness, along with 3d space transforms.

  these shapes are simple enough that i think you could make the curves in illustrator or photoshop and animate their rotation.
