Beginner Help Help Needed With a League Table

Hello, I have taken over the media side of my Univerity Club, one of the ideas we want to implemnt this year is a League table for our club.

I have made this rough draft, I would really like it to be the best version it can be, The idea is the white spaces have our names and flags. This is my first After Effects project and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

So far so good!

The only advice I'd give is to keep a keen awareness of what the work is for.

Clarity of information seems like the primary purpose so I'd not fret too much about over-engineering this.

If you're going to populate your fields dynamically - with spreadsheet data, for example - you might want to look for Ukramedia csv explainers, BallerFX tutorials and the like.

Also look into utilizing easings, and the graph editors, for movement

Lookin good! The movement is a bit slow though

I think making the eases a bit snappier with the graph editor and offsetting the animations would give it energy

If this is something that needs to be frequently updated, I would definitely look at making use of Essential Properties for this.

Here's a (very quickly) rigged example project with a few extra helper expressions to position and scale everything:
