type in motion

I love typography! I'm really fond of type that moves. Whether it create an image out of type, or tell a story, or can be more simplified and create diversity through sizes such as big verses small and differences in width such as thick and thin, bold verses italic, different senses of direction. Im just really fascinated at the many different ways you can tell a story through type and how each person can take something completely different from it.
