Kinetic Typography-Based Instant Messaging

by Kerry Bodine. Mathilde Pignol.

Kinetic Typography, text whose appearance changes over time, is emerging as a new form of expression due to its ability to add emotional content to text. We explored the potential for kinetic typography to improve the way people communicate over the Internet using Instant Messaging (IM). Our Kinetic Instant Messenger (KIM) builds upon applications for rendering and editing kinetic typography effects and addresses several design issues that spring from integrating kinetic typography and IM. Kinetic Typography is “typography that doesn’t stand still” [1]. It can be found in film titles, music videos, TV commercials and websites and is emerging as a new form of expression due to its ability to convey emotions, personality and tone of voice [2]. Despite kinetic typography’s great potential as a communication tool, it has been largely unexplored in this respect. This is partly due to the difficulty of creating kinetic type with the current tools available. [via]
