Strictly Typography

This past week in lecture we watched a few music videos integrated with image and typography. The music videos reminded me of what we were most recently studying: comic books. Especially Check It Out by Will.I.Am featuring Nicki Minaj because of the bright vibrant colors in the costumes and backgrounds. This video was especially interesting because the typography was in Korean and had literal translations to the words in the song. Like the comic books these music videos were juxtaposing word and image. After lecture I stopped thinking about the music videos and word and image and just made my way home. At home I got into my usual routine of playing music off of youtube. While I was listening to Raise Your Glass by Pink I couldn’t help but notice a video that was strictly typography that was made to go with the song. Naturally since I just came out of class I was curious so I clicked on it and watched it. Now I have seen many typography videos but I’m pretty sure this was the best one I have seen so far. The way the font fit in with the words of the song and how the came on the screen was simply put as fabulous. Here just watch it for yourself and comment on what you think about it.
