Typography in a Liquid Chaos

What to expect?

Immerse yourself in the world of kinetic typography and liquids, exploring the fusion of analog and digital possibilities. Expand your creative thinking, discover fresh sources of inspiration, and unleash your full creative potential. Engage in playful experimentation with diverse techniques and materials to craft distinctive design pieces. Delve into the realm of animated kinetic typography loops, seamlessly melding digital-created type with analog elements. Acquire the art of animating typography in various captivating ways, employing Adobe After Effects to craft simple kinetic typographic compositions. Transparent liquids, chosen from a spectrum, will infuse an analog layer, texture, and/or distortion, contributing to the richness of the final outcome. Immerse yourself in a journey of discovery, acquiring new skills and techniques as you seamlessly blend the analog and digital worlds.

Who is it for?

This workshop is suitable for almost everyone. Just a basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and After Effects will be required. And of course enthusiastic eagerness to learn, experiment, and get messy!

What to bring?

Laptop/Tablet: Please be aware that a laptop with Photoshop and After Effects installed will be necessary. We will need to position it by standing it on the back of the monitor, we know it sounds scary, but there should be no issue for the laptop itself. If it happens to be a table available, regardless of its age or condition, it would be amazing if you could also bring it.

Phone with a camera and/or digital video camera with tripod: A mobile phone equipped with a video camera will work perfectly well. Tripods for mobile phones will be provided. If you happen to have a digital video camera and prefer to achieve higher resolution videos, feel free to bring it along with a tripod.
