Designing motion graphics implies thinking about the issues of motion and the transformation of visual signs over time and synchronized with a sound or music. When it comes to typography, we have to consider readability. The letter, the form and the counter-form, in motion, has a duration that determines its existence, and the time of its reading. How does this process work?
We will see a very short Type in motion work in progress with some examples I do for TypeTogether. I will share some tips with you to get started with typography in motion. In the workshop we’ll work in the first stage of this process. We will make a storyboard for a five-second moving typographic piece, following what the music inspires us. We will see the rhythm and speed for the shapes. Then if you dare and have time, you can digitize the storyboard in a simple animation with a software that you use. For this workshop you will need a pencil and paper to draw.
