PROJECT STATEMENT

How can the syntactic structures of spoken and written language influence the design of transitions in time-based typography?

 

What categories of transition in cinema, comics, modern dance, music, and theater align with the syntactic structures of language?

 

What elements of rhythm and pacing in spoken and written utterances can be applied to time-based typography?

 

What characteristics of listening and reading comprehension affect the durations of time-based typography?

transition :: passage from one form, state, style, or place to another

syntactic structure :: parts arranged or put together to form a whole by conforming to rules of syntax

rhythm :: sense of temporal development created by the patterned arrangement of recurring formal elements

pacing :: rate of speed

utterance :: actual use of a sentence

comprehension :: the act of grasping the meaning, nature, importance of
