On my last article on Kinetic Typography ( I Heart Typographic Animation). A reader asked if I can put together some tutorials that can help one make his or her own version.

It takes a lot of effort and time to create your own Kinetic or Type set in motion.  Hope you will consider the following when creating your own:

1.  Storyline – Just like creating anything moving, it would be great to pick a good storyline.  Whether you pick to make your own story or create something inspired by music, it is always good to allow your audience the benefit of watching something that they can easily understand or relate with.

2.  Choose your fonts wisely –  I believe what you will do is a work of art and like any other art forms, choosing the best fonts that will fit to your plot or mini video will be good.  It will also create more drama and imapct to your master piece.

3. Choose the best music or sound effect. –  a great piece of work will never be complete nor create more impactl without the music or the sound effects.

Ok now Go and do your masterpiece and when you are done, please share it with us, we would love to see what you have come up with.
