Next a prototype was made for the iPad. One of the main advantages of having
Type Set on the iPad is the gestural control allowed by the device’s multi-touch screen.
Gestures allowed for the experience to be more visceral and physical, since the iPad
almost gives the illusion that you can touch the text. The touch controls also allow the
player to have a more personal connection with each word, which gives the player a sense
of ownership as players became attached to the designs they made with words when
solving puzzles.

Next Steps
The main focus in my production pipeline is the creation of content. For my
project to be experienced as intended, I have to be able to create enough content to allow
players to make meaningful decisions when it comes to solving the puzzles. It is when the
player realizes his/her actions and the way he/she manipulates words have an effect on
the narrative, that the player becomes truly engaged. The goal is to have a phone

| 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. |
