Kinetic Typography

Kinetic typography is the art of expression with animated text. Similar to the study of traditional typography of designing static typographic forms (http://johnnylee.net/kt/). I will be looking at typography and layout and how these elements offer more flexibility to storytelling and can add to literature, the same way that visuals can add to a music performance. The aim is to enjoy language, using typography and design. Stephen Fry gives an excellent account on language http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7E-aoXLZGY and Thibault de Fournas has created a beautiful animation on the evolution of type from Paper to Screen http://vimeo.com/69375692
