Description
In this Final Project you may use the font you designed in the previous project and give voice to it. You will be required to choose a statement/poem/quote / dialogue / etc. that is suitable to the character and personality of your font.
“Kinetic typography—the technical name for "moving text"—is an animation technique mixing motion and text to express ideas using video animation. This text is presented over time in a manner intended to convey or evoke a particular idea or emotion.”

You will research, plan and execute a sequence of frames expressing the chosen text using the appropriate software.
Requirements
The student must utilise the accumulated knowledge from the exercises, lectures and from their own reading (library books and online sources) to guide them and inform them in their
decisions.
The student must document the process (sketches, trial and errors) in their eporfolio and hardcopy portfolio. The student will be expected to submit the final mock-up in the hardcopy
portfolio and the softcopy PDF (and or JPEG) uploaded or embedded unto the eportfolio.
Create a separate folder in your Google Drive and store all files, artefacts, project submissions, etc. here.
Ensure all items are logically and chronologically ordered, labelled and dated.
Submission
All gathered information (failures, successes, epiphanies, sketches, visual research, printouts, websites, images, charts, etc.) documented logically and chronologically in
the A4 Clear Sheet folder. The works must be labelled and dated.
All gathered information (failures, successes, epiphanies, sketches, visual research, printouts, websites, images, charts, etc.) documented logically and chronologically in
the eportfolio for the duration of the project in one post and for the duration of the course in a separate post as instructed in class.
Softcopy of the animation must be uploaded unto the eportfolio or YouTube and embedded in the eportfolio (as directed by your lecturers) while a frame-by-frame
JPEG of the kinetic animation must also be uploaded to your eportfolio.
The frame-by-frame animation needs to be printed out and documented in the hardcopy portfolio.
Objectives
To develop students ability to express ideas through text in moving forms.
To develop students ability to create seamless movement from one frame to another.
To develop students ability to maintain excitement and variation in the presented animation.

Feedback 1
Mr Vinod said that first 3 posters are not in good progress however, the last one is interesting.
Feedback 2
Lecturers said that looks simple but fine for the final assignment. And Mr. Vinod said to do another one.
Reflection
ExperienceWhen I heard that we were going to make and animation for the poster I thought to put words in a random way. However, when Mr Vinod said that to think this poster going to keep in our room and how I want to see when I keep it in the room.
I followed his idea. At that time I realised if I can relate the design which I'm making to my real life, it will be too easy and creative.
Observation
Firstly, I struggled to a quote which is suitable to my font. and I found a quote I tried to find a way for the arrangement of words.
Finding

Books read throughout the assignment
I love Avant Garde

Recently, I borrowed 'I love Futura' book and this kind of books were helpful for take some ideas to make the poster.
Websites
I used pinterest.com website to take some ideas for this assignment. And I wanted to make a simple quote/ lyrics arrangement because it looks suitable to my font. So I followed this kind of sample in the Pinterest website.
