In Type A users are presented with what is a rusty typewriter. The
user is supposed to use the keyboard to type whatever message they want.
The effects of sound and visuals set an aggressive mood that encourages
the user to type hard and fast.
Letterscapes by Peter Cho
Letterscapes is a collection of twenty-six interactive typographic
landscapes, encompassed within a dynamic, dimensional environment. In
each landscape, a letter of the alphabet serves as the starting point for a
playful, mouse-driven experience. In each case, the letterform is re-imagined
in a virtual two-dimensional or three-dimensional space, and the
user can “play” the letter as one would play a game, or a musical
instrument.
Type Drawing by Hansol Huh
The experience begins by typing a sentence the user wants to say,
and then, the user draws with his/her finger and the trail created is the
sentence that the user typed. The scale of the sentence is dependent on the
velocity of the gestural movements.

different animal. When a letter is clicked, a small animation plays where
the letters are formed into a shape that represents an animal. Because

| 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. |
