“…Prior research [21], [40], [71], [81] has studied generating animated text automatically, assuming that simple animation schemes are good enough for an enjoyable experience and can save design effort. For instance, Minakuchi and Tanaka [51] designed an automatic typography composer that allowed semantic matching between keywords and motion schemes.…”

We propose emordle, a conceptual design that animates wordles (compact word clouds) to deliver their emotional context to audiences. To inform the design, we first reviewed online examples of animated texts and animated wordles, and summarized strategies for injecting emotion into the animations. We introduced a composite approach that extends an existing animation scheme for one word to multiple words in a wordle with two global factors: the randomness of text animation (entropy) and the animation speed (speed). To create an emordle, general users can choose one predefined animated scheme that matches the intended emotion class and fine-tune the emotion intensity with the two parameters. We designed proof-of-concept emordle examples for four basic emotion classes, namely happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. We conducted two controlled crowdsourcing studies to evaluate our approach. The first study confirmed that people generally agreed on the conveyed emotions from well-crafted animations, and the second one demonstrated that our identified factors helped fine-tune the extent of the emotion delivered. We also invited general users to create their own emordles based on our proposed framework. Through this user study, we confirmed the effectiveness of the approach. We concluded with implications for future research opportunities of supporting emotion expression in visualizations.

“…Bu ilişkilerin keşfedilmesi, duyguların tekrarlanabilir şekilde ifade edilmesi için belli animasyon kalıplarının metne sürekli uygulanabileceği anlamına gelmektedir. Bununla birlikte Minakuchi ve Tanaka (2005) duygusal veya başka türden çeşitli sözcükleri otomatik olarak canlandıran bir kinetik tipografi motoru geliştirmeye odaklanmışlardır.…”

Visual and written expression, which can be identified as communicating all kinds of ideas, emotions and information with images, have been used to deliver messages throughout the history of humanity. Writing has been used as a means of communication in many media, including cave walls, clay tablets, papyrus, parchment papers, canvas and screens, and is one of humanity's most significant inventions for self-expression.Some of the most significant elements of design are forms that strengthen meanings and their effective use. From this perspective, it is true that writing is a very effective design element for explaining and enriching the draft of a project. Writing, which was used for communication in its own historical evolution, can also be used as spots, patterns or motifs in graphic designs to consolidate them. Although writing has traditional uses, it has been adapted to historical periods, events and technology.One issue with today's technology is speed. Consumption styles have changed with increased serial production. In addition, structures and elements that affect the masses and develop, mechanize and become mobile have also affected art and design. One of the most affected areas is writing in graphic design. The design of writing has different and interesting forms and examples although it is still based on its traditional form.The purpose of this study is to examine writing in examples of moving graphics design in general and moving writing in design approach specifically.

Social Semiotics

This paper traces the development of a new semiotic mode, kinetic typography. Kinetic typography began with the experiments of filmmakers like Len Lye and Norman McLaren. Later, film title designers like Saul Bass and Pablo Ferro drew on the shapes of letters with inventive metaphors -serifs, for instance could make letters walk, because they can stand for shoes as they are elongated horizontals on which something stands. In Saul Bass' titles for Hitchcock's Psycho, the splitting of letters became a metaphor for the split mind of the film's main character. Such inventions eventually became part of a lexicon of clichés drawn on by designers across the world. Eventually, researchers and software designers began to formalize and systematize the language of kinetic typography, and the fruit of their work is now widely available, not only to specialists, but also to anyone who uses PowerPoint or Adobe AfterEffects, even though users may not always be aware of the lexico-grammatical rules which underlie the menus they choose from. And computers, being agnostic as to the kind of "objects" their operations operate on, apply these grammars to letters as well as other graphic forms, thus consolidating the multimodality of the language of movement. The second part of the paper discusses these formalizations, drawing on the kinetic design literature. Based on M.A.K. Halliday's transitivity theory, it sketches the outlines of a systemic grammar of movement that can make the meaning potential of kinetic typography explicit. The paper concludes with an analysis of art works created by David Byrne which use PowerPoint as a medium. Using PowerPoint's relatively simple movement grammar, Byrne has nevertheless succeeded in using movement creatively, giving us a glimpse of a future of creative writing which has kinetic typography at its very centre.
