Dynamic Typography

According to the well-respected Wikipedia, typography is "the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs." I actually have a lot of respect for those who do typography well. They not only have to present words artistically, but also to do so in an attractive, entertaining fashion. Below is a few of the ones that I find are done exceptionally well.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Breaks Records


I don't know about you guys, but I went to see the midnight showing of the 6th installment of Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And I helped it break the record for the highest grossing midnight opening movie of all time!

Not even 24 hours have passed since its opening, and the Half-Blood Prince has already taken in $20 million!!!!! It now surpasses the midnight sales of 2nd place The Dark Knight, which took in $18 million, and 3rd place Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, with $17 million.

I've always been a little disappointed in the movie adaptations, so I had low expectations going into the movie. But I was pleasantly surprised by David Yates' direction, and I think this might be my favorite of the film series thus far. Be forewarned that this one spends much more time on the lives of teenagers than in any of the other movies.

Anya Marina - Whatever You Like (Cover)


I was first wowed by Anya Marina when she opened for Jason Mraz on his new tour promoting We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things. Her unique voice and guitar sensibility has helped land her songs onto Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, and Gossip Girl, to name a few. Above is her cover of T.I.'s ubiquitous hit Whatever You Like.
