Kinetic Type



Feel like I'm going to go on a bit of a type-roll with my next few posts. In class one day when I should have been paying attention, I came across this video on YouTube. First of all, American Beauty is one of my favourite movies and mixing that with type, it was like a dream come true. Working with the final speech of the film with Kevin Spacey, the type moves and flows giving greater meaning to the words. Visually showing gave me greater appreciation for both the film and type. It's just one of those things that I'd really like to learn how to do. Creating my own kinetic type ... I'm adding it to my never-ending list of things I'd love to learn.
