I “Heart” Typographic Animation!

I love typography and most specially if it’s kenetic or animated typography. Kinetic typography—the technical name for “moving text”—is an animation technique mixing motion and text. This text is presented over time in a manner intended to convey or evoke a particular idea or emotion. It is often studied in Communication Design and Interaction Design courses. Some commonly seen examples of this technique include movie title sequences and credits, web page animation and other entertainment media

But what is most interesting and truly amazing are the ones that I found today. One deals with a cancer rant and the last one deals with a How To. My favorite is the 1st one, which deals with an answering machine and how certain responses are linked with a specific disorder. The humor is great and I just watched it over and over.

Kenetic typography is a great way to express certain messages. It uses words to depict actions and a story. I am actually thinking of creating one and if ever I do get the chance to delve into it. I will let you guys know how it goes. But for the meantime, watch and see what I mean why I love Typographic animation.
