scanimation

I still love the idea of kinetic type but i need to find something else that could achieve this.






This seems to be following the lines of optical illusions, there is still an aim to create book covers with with a little more than just some pretty illustration or design. sagemeisters book 'made you look' is a great example of doing this.




looking for other more up to date ways of capturing motion on paper and found this scanimations although i think it is slightly more gimmicky than the zoetrope. The idea again would be to create a moving typeface that can only be read when the book is tilted.

Faber book design

Ok only one real idea that i think might work, the idea is to make book covers that appear abstract at first. They only become clear when they are removed from the book and processed through filming equipment such as projectors or zoetropes. I havent figured out how to do this with a projector but i think it could be possible with the zoetrope.





The idea would be to make a typeface that can only be read by the zoetrope. Another way of doing the zoetrope idea would be to use kinetic typography to display the title of book etc and have quotations spawning from the title frame by frame making the cover appear to flow.
