8th Media Arts Type Motion Graphic


How can typography (the art of designing letters and words) bring a sentence to life? We will be creating typographic movies of a favorite song lyric.

Research and Planning
Go the the Graphic Design Dictionary and write the definition for some key terms.
font, frame, graphics, layers, opacity, pixel, RGB, typography

History of Animation and Motion Graphics (Off Book PBS)

Pick a song lyric, a line from a movie, a quote or a famous saying. You want people to get it so pick something recognizable, or something emotionally powerful. The more words the longer it will take to make it, so stick with something short.  Try for between 6 and 12 words. If you need some ideas, try 100 Songs Best Lines, ThinkExistSongLyrics, RollingStoneBestLyrics ,  famous quotes, inspirational quotes, famous lines from movies or search on your own.
