Here are some examples of kinetic typography, they all use different methods, the ways the type comes in and out of the frame, how the viewers eyes follow the words and the way the type moves and morphs.

The Alphabet

The Alphabet from n9ve on Vimeo.

Here each letter is being represented with a typeface whose name beggins with the letter, the morphing between the letters works really well in this video and the letters never move position in the frame.

MGMT - All We Ever Wanted Was Everything from oneedo on Vimeo.

Two really nice pieces of motion graphics by Ned Wenlock, the second using typography within it, they way the pieces move is done in such a intresting way, the spinning environment ever chaning in the first everything unrolling and opening up in the second.

CMYK Embroidery

 Evelin Kasikov has done this CMYK embroidery which I have just com across, it is doing something different with colour and print, she writes on her website...

'The idea of handmade print started as an academic project. Now, most of my work is based on that. I have created CMYK embroidered illustrations for clients such as The Guardian and WIRED, as well as worked on numerous private commissions.
I use conventional screen angles: Cyan 105˚, Magenta 75˚, Yellow 90˚ and Black 45˚ and prepare dot screens for cross-stitch. Works are stitched using cotton threads in CMYK colours, the intensity of colour depends on the number of strands used. The final outcome is a printed page created by hand.'

Top Ten Manual

Here is my top ten manual of things to consider when designing for print.

Tour de France Infographic Poster

Infographics about the Tour de France, printed with offset in CMYK. Again very useful for my project, a design containing a map aswell as infographics. It holds a lot of information but is designed a laid out well so it doesn't look to cluttered and confusing.

Henry + Co.

A design fro Henry + Co, using lots of print methods, offset, foil stamping, embossing and die cut. The website these designs were found on is For Print Only, they give you a lot of information about the design, how its printed, how long it took, stock, colour. Its really useful to see how these designs are produced.
