Have you heard about kinetic typography? The term means, literally, moving text. It’s actually animation, though not in the Bugs Bunny sense. In kinetic typography the movement, style, color, etc. of the type is designed to express a particular idea or feeling. Perhaps the best example of kinetic typography we’ve ever seen is this:
(Caution: It’s about 3:30 long and you’ll want to watch every second!)
So Fiverr user sshbks “will create a kinda kinetic typographic video with words, pictures or graphics of 1 min or will create a perfect intro of your gig for $5.” The operative word here is “kinda.” Don’t expect true kinetic typography, but it does make a presentation that is constantly in motion.

We should probably point out that we could have submitted a logo and graphics, which would have made this flick a lot more interesting. The technique utilizes a site called Prezi.com but you’ve already figured that out. sshbks is a Prezi expert and uses the software to design cool typographic wallpaper. You can commission distinctive custom graphics for your website or blog.
