Storyboard (Final Project)

First Version.

However, First version is too long and To appear a character is difficult, so I changed.

Final Verion. 

I will use vector images for all screens. 

About Final Project.

I will chose a part of poem called ‘Where the sidewalk ends’.

This is the part of poem.

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

There is a place where the sidewalk ends

And before the street begins,

And there the grass grows soft and white,

And there the sun burns crimson bright,

And there the moon-bird rests from his flight

To cool in the peppermint wind.

Typography

I did not know why I had to learn Typography before I read this post.

Actually I took a Typography class, but it was one of classes what I have to take.

I know Typography is an important part of design, and I think Typography has to be read because it is a text. Therefore, I always chose Helvetica or Gil sans for tagline and headline of my designs. However, after I read this post, I realized typography can be sexy. It means not only typography is one part of design but also it can be designed.
