For example a book opening and pages turning, that had faux = text appear on the page, that could be rotated in space, while looking esse= ntially like an icon in basic two-color.

Creating = something in 2.5D in AE would be simple and the look is easy to acheive, bu= t any 3D camera or object motion would have to be kept very basic to hide t= he gag.
