The Musician’s Guide to Theory and Analysis (The Musician’s Guide Series)

Description

In his latest book, Michael Betancourt explores the nature and role of typography in motion graphics as a way to consider its distinction from static design, using the concept of the ＆reading-image＊ to model the ways that motion typography dramatizes the process of reading and audience recognition of language on-screen. Using both classic and contemporary title sequences〞including
(1955),
(1979),
(1998),
(2001),
(2007) and
(2010)〞Betancourt develops an argument about what distinguishes motion graphics from graphic design. Moving beyond title sequences, Betancourt also analyzes moving or kinetic typography in logo designs, commercials, film trailers, and information graphics,
offering a striking theoretical model for understanding typography in media.
