Expressive Typography in Print and in Motion

The speech I chose for this expressive typography project was John F. Kennedy's speech addressing the issue of the Cuban Missile Crisis. My book shows the emphasis the speaker puts on certain words, from pauses within the speech to the way Kennedy's voice changes throughout the speech. It also shows the movement that the words express. It was easier to animate the speech rather than showing the speech in print form. You can express more of the meaning that the word shows easier in animation rather than just in print.
