Design Something.

Typography isn’t all just about cool posters and wallpapers, it can be found in everything around us. Typography is typically described as what language looks like and is the art and techniques of type design.

Typography can be the modification of type and the arranging of type, to get the look and feel you desire. Arrangement of type is the selection of typeface which you select, the point size, the line length, the leading and the kerning.

These are just a sample of great typography movies/videos and animations which i have found which show great use of typography and generally are some great animations as well.
