Have you ever found yourself sitting around on a Sunday morning, drinking a hot cup of coffee, wishing that you could just once see a recreation of a Star Wars scene done entirely in typography? Probably not, but I do that all the time. . But I bet you are thinking about it now, and you think that would be pretty awesome, right? There is no limit to the creativity and breathtaking amount of time…
Typography has plenty of fans. But that number is ever increasing, thanks to the Internet and the whole new world it has opened up for designers and artists. One of those newer versions of this old practice is kinetic typography, which takes advantage of computer graphics and allows people to make their own movies using nothing but fonts or effects.
Kinetic typography takes a lot of practice, but it is fun and very educational. That is why so many graphic design courses make it a mandatory project for their students, in order to introduce them to both typography through movement and creative processes that turn lettering into special effects or representative objects.
