Expressive Literature - Grad Project (in progress)
description
(In Progress)
To tackle the alarming deficiency in current North American young adult literacy, I am proposing to redesign classical literature to be more understandable, engaging, and inspiring using expressive and possibly dynamic expressive typography. I would like to ultimately stimulate a previously lost appreciation of literature and the English language in addition to improving reading comprehension and effectuating more frequent reading.
I plan on creating a focus group with university students and testing their responses to all three types of typography: regular typography, expressive static typography, and expressive kinetic typography.
As I am currently working on this project, I will be updating my portfolio as it progresses.
