9 cool animations with typography
Typography is already great when staying still and filling our prints, but it can get even greater when taken in motion and coming to life.
The Lion’s roar, a good song with creative and entertaining use of typography.
Duck & cover, fun with an old public service announcement.
Are you gonna be my girl. Home made, but not bad.
Devil’s advocate, sound is taken from the movie with typography on it.
A very nice experiment, worth watching.
Tramp, I really like this one, looks more like a layout going forward.
Streetlight manifesto, another great animation, just a little too short.
Citizen Cope, let the drummer kick. My favorite in the list, typography really comes to life in it.
Kinetic typography, live out loud.
Edit: And… a 10th video, since commenters have been pointing me to it. I already featured this video on Designer Daily, which is the simple reason why I didn’t mention it here.
Edit 2: Two more videos pointed by more commenters…
