SGER: Enabling Creativity Using Kinetic Typography

该项目通过开发工具来增强基本文本媒介的表达能力，这些工具可以在生成动态排版的同时增强人们的创造力。传统形式的静态排版可以随着时间和运动而增强，以便随着时间的推移操纵文本显示的位置、大小、颜色、形状和其他属性。这种新的动态排版提供了许多潜在的优势：能够传达情感内容和说话者声音的质量，在非常小的显示器上提高阅读性能的潜力，以及以新的方式进行交流的能力。这些优势在很大程度上还没有被开发出来，因为让设计师和普通大众都能轻松使用动态排版所需的技术工具才刚刚开始发展。该项目探讨了在生成动态文本的背景下增强人类创造力的工具的本质。这项工作的影响将远远超出动态排版，对理解设计过程、情感交流和创造力都有影响。这项研究将扩展我们对沟通和信息传递的基本知识，并为我们理解和创建动态排版工具奠定基础，对设计学校和培训环境的工作具有长期影响。

This project enhances the expressive ability of the fundamental medium of text with the development of tools that enhance the creativity of people while generating kinetic typography. Traditional forms of static typography can be augmented with time and motion, in order to manipulate the position, size, color, shape, and other properties of text displays over time. This new kinetic typography offers a number of potential advantages: the ability to convey emotional content and qualities of the speaker's voice, the potential for increased reading performance on very small displays, and the ability to communicate in new ways. These advantages have been largely unexploited because the technological tools needed to make kinetic typography easily accessible to both designers and the general public have only begun to be developed. This project explores the nature of tools that enhance human creativity in the context of generating kinetic text. The impact of this work will reach well beyond kinetic typography, with implications for understanding the design process, emotional communication, and creativity. This research will extend our basic knowledge of communication and information transfer, and give us a foundation for understanding and creating kinetic typography tools, with long-term implications for work in design schools and training environments.
