Kinetic Typography: Create a Visual Concept in Motion

“We have come to the end of the course. Thank you for following it! I hope that this learning will be useful to you and that you will enjoy carrying out your final project. Now is the time to prepare your final project. I encourage you to make your own creation, taking the time to seek inspiration. To help you, I leave you below the main steps to follow to complete your final project. You can finish what you have already started with the exercises or you can start a whole new project! In any case, take care to document the different stages of your creation and add a brief explanation of what you did in each of them as well as your choices. Text and Grid Choose a word, phrase, or poem that inspires you. Then lay out a grid for your typography design, first by hand if you wish, then later (or from the start) in Illustrator.

Variations Then switch to After Effects and continue building your design there, starting to animate it and continuing to manipulate your typography to find what works for you.
Export All you have to do is export your file to be able to distribute it! And There you go ! I look forward to discovering your creations. Don't forget to share your finds and inventions on the forum. I will respond to your posts and questions as soon as possible, but in the meantime, I encourage you to watch what your comrades have been up to and comment on their posts. A word of advice: stay alert! Inspiration can come from anywhere. Trust yourself and don't throw away essays that don't suit you. Ideas sometimes take time to mature. See you soon on the forum !”
