"Unwritten": Expressive Typography
Spring 2024 Typography II
The full expressive typography video is attached below.
Objective
The objective for this assignment was to express the lyrics or dialogue of an audio using only type-based design. I chose to use Natasha Bedingfield's song "Unwritten" specifically because this song has grown to be very sentimental to me, as my soon-to-be graduating friends often play this song to celebrate their time in college and to look forward to what their futures hold.
Colors
I chose to use a light color palette of blue and gold for this project because the song itself is very lighthearted, whimsical, and youthful. The original album cover for "Unwritten" contains gold tones, and I aimed to reflect this in my motion.
This was only the second time that I have used Adobe After Effects, and I thoroughly enjoyed challenging myself by trying many text effects for the first time.
The images below are storyboards that guided me through this project.
