KINETIC TYPE: Final


This is the final design of my typography animation I created using a combination of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe after effects.

STEP 1:  I started by making three different designs on illustrator for the different sections of my text, I chose a background that I thought would work well with the meaning behind the quote and the font I was planning to use. I created the three different sections of my text by creating a new art-board by holding the alt key and duplicating the first rectangle to create two more along side it. 

STEP 2: I then decided on the text I was going to use, I tried to use a variation of different fonts that worked well together to keep my animation interesting and decided I would use a combination of AVENIR (ultralight), Century Gothic and AVENIR (Regular) I found that these fonts worked well together because the styles worked well in transition with each other. 

  I created the video using animated keyframes and the transform options to make the text move and appear from one place to another. I created transitions from one piece of the quote to the other by creating a new solid under the layer option so it seemed as if I created separate animations and blended them together. 

I also used the ease in and ease out tool which makes the text I was transforming shift from one place to another with a more finesse this made the keyframe transitions work better together because of how they blended seamlessly without any movement which would appear too sharp.
