it could be a ae or ps animation. as you said it really depends of your motivation i've been using ae for 5 years but there's some stuff i don't mess around too much (expressions and element 3d) it also depends on what you want to do with it for example video editing, motion graphics, gifs animations, ux, etc. one way to get really good would be making a new and different project everytime you'll end up learning a lot of different things.

here's some of the things you should look for
- keyframes
- precomp's
- wiggle expression
- camera tracker
- graph editor (look for ECAbrams on yt)
- helpful plugins (like Frischluft Lenscare, Duik, Twixtor, Plexus, Twitch, RSMB, Ease and wizz, Optical Flares, Trapcode's, etc)

also didn't someone post this infographic a few months ago claiming it was his work?

nah man I posted this infographic a few months ago asking for cool infographics cause it was an extra credit assignment and I needed inspo but didn't do the assignment but this semester it's an assignment and when I make stuff I have to make it look really professional otherwise I don't turn it in and fail because I'm a perfectionist

you're a perfectionist with that grammar?

Could be made with PS, but it's really easy to make with AE if you make the design in AI or PS first. Also animating in photoshop is pretty bad, AE is much better.

Perfectionist is just another word for procrastinators, that can't admit they procrastinate.
