When I heard that the blog topic was expressive type, I thought about all the kinetic poetry I'd seen on youtube.  Kinetic poetry is poetry in motion!  It's really cool.  Usually there is a voiceover of the poem while typography is used as animation to support the spoken word.  Sometimes it can be very moving, more so than just hearing the words alone.

There are some really inspiring videos of kinetic poetry out there, but I chose a video that I hope we can all relate to.  Please tell me you have seen the movie Zoolander?  If not, get on it.  Even if it is the definition of a stupid movie, it has some of the best quotes known to man.  Winston Churchill is probably jealous.

Anyway, enjoy the video. I really think the motion of the type, as well as the variation of fonts, sizes, and colour help to portray the essence of what Derek is trying to say in this clip of the movie.

Good luck with completing your book covers, everyone!
