8th: Motion Graphics

How can typography (the art of designing letters and words) bring a sentence to life? We will be creating typographic movies of a favorite quote, saying, line from a movie or song lyric.

Research and Planning
Go the the Graphic Design Dictionary and write the definition for some key terms.
font, frame, graphics, layers, opacity, pixel, RGB, typography

Pick a short poem, a quote, a famous saying, a song lyric, or a line from a movie. You want people to get it so pick something recognizable, or something emotionally powerful.
