30.Jun.2009 Type that moves

I’ve recently become very interested in learning more and experimenting with kinetic typography. What kinetic typography means is the mixture of motion and text, like beginning credits in movies or TV shows. For those of you who are unfamiliar with kinetic typography here are some of my favorite examples.

1. Kyle Coopers Opening Credits for seven. A beautifully disturbing way to introduce the film

2. I love this one. It takes a memorable part of the movie and gives it a new spin. Even if you had never seen this movie, you know exactly what is going on because of the way this person displays the type

3. This is one of the coolest projects I’ve seen come out of SCAD

Motion graphics is something I will I became more interested in while at SCAD. I admire a lot of the work I have seen come out of the Motion graphics department. My summer goal is to create a few kinetic typography projects. I’ll be sure to update my progress.
