Kinetic Typography Motion Animation of the Poem:The orange

The requirement of this project was to create a dynamic typographic animation with text, images, and sound. Create an animation that conveys the idea and emotion of your chosen piece by choosing fonts, movement, colors, sounds, and other graphic elements. I chose the poem The Orange because I like the simple feeling of happiness it brings. The narrator’s life seems to be full of trivial things that bring them joy.
Learning Outcomes:
I have experienced how animation and visual effects can bring a completely different meaning to plain text. As well, the case of fonts and words can have an impact on reading and reading order. This is the work I did in the second semester, and now I am in the fifth semester. When I was putting this work together and uploading it, I think I chose too many fonts and some of the animations are a little too fast, which can cause a reading challenge when watching this video.
