Figure 3. An example of how the use of uppercase words can change the interpretation of
the sentence.
After learning this, using scale was the most intuitive way to convey emotion
within Type Set’s game structure. The gameplay is tied to the flow of a telephone
conversation, and allowing a player to have some control and expression within this
conversation was a main focus of the game’s structure.

| Abstract | Kinetic typography-text that is animated and given expressive qualities – allows for designers to express emotion and tone of voice better than traditional, print-based media. This is accomplished through a combination of typographic treatment and animation. One of the limitations of kinetic typography is that it does not involve user participation. With my project, an experimental iPad game Type Set, I wanted to explore the effects of adding interactivity to kinetic typography framed within a video game. In the game the player must manipulate words using basic tropes found in kinetic typography, such as scale and rotation, to affect the narrative of the game. By dissecting the nature of kinetic typography in this paper and through my projects, I will explore how interactivity can enhance and change the way kinetic typography is experienced. |
