Final P1 Kinetic Typography:
Rationale:
The audio I chose for my kinetic typography assignment was from a Broadway show called “OH, hello!” about two elderly men and their journey to stardom. As a whole, the show can get a bit raunchy, but for the most part, it’s really just a wholesome comedy following two best friends and their antics. The show uses very warm, and natural colors to create an incredibly unique retro feel. The way these characters dress and speak is very indicative of a time long since passed, and that’s exactly what I wanted to convey with my color palette and typographic decisions. For my main typeface’s I chose Futura PT and Futura PT Condensed, as well as Courier New and Lust to help emphasize and contrast certain parts of the audio. Along with this, because the scene plays out so quickly in such a short amount of time, I needed typefaces that could get a viewers attention, while still being readable. In regard to, Futura, there’s just something about it that exudes this comforting feeling while still being so geometric and precise. It’s almost familiar in a way, which I really appreciate and felt paired nicely with the clip and its subject matter. While providing a lot of aesthetic value I also wanted my design choices to correspond appropriately and enhance the feelings that may be brought out through this audio.
