I love kinetic typography. I love good typography anyway, but add a level of motion to it, and I’m all there. This one by Ronnie Bruce is particularly well-done, using different fonts, weights, sizes, and motion to depict the poem “Totally Like Whatever, You Know?” by Taylor Mali to great effect. It doesn’t hurt the poem is a good one, too (and convicting, as I’m often guilty of speaking in questions, usually as a passive-aggressive defense tactic). You can read the whole text of it at Mali’s site here, and see more of Bruce’s videos here, though I think this is far and away the best.

  • Fun stuff, Jandy! Your dad directed me to this...I hadn't visited your site (or any others) in a while. It was nice to see your parents at church this AM...it's a rare occasion these days.
  • Thanks, Lori! I've been too busy to keep up as much as I'd like on online stuff, too, but when I saw this I had to share it. Glad they made it to church this morning, too! I know they usually try to make it, but it's sometimes difficult.

    Fun to watch! And a great message in the poem, too!
  • Yep! I enjoyed watching it the first time through, but when I took time to actually pay attention to the words, I liked them as well. Good words to remember.
