Following the motion components of kinetic typography, Type Set has several
types of motion that make the player feel like they’re in control of the motions and
animations within the game. In the game, all of the words that the player can manipulate
in a sentence follow each other in order, as demonstrated in Figure 6.

This set-up allows for a ripple effect to be seen in the rest of the sentence when
the player performs an action. This ripple effect simulates the ability to animate the
words and helps with the impact of words that are emphasized. For example, if a player
scales up a word, all the other words in the sentence would be pushed away. When the

| 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. |
