Shuffling Typography Animation

A shuffling type animation with various effects for a geeky terminal look.

The other day, I stumbled upon a captivating type animation created by Andreas Gysin. I was immediately inspired and decided to experiment with similar effects. You can witness the brilliance of Andreas’ animation on his project site LCD 1 and also on his website.

This totally geeky effect looks like some terminal application come to life and my aim was to try out different little modifications to the animation, creating different patterns and using colors.

Here’s a video if all the different types of effects:

I hope you enjoy the set and can find a use for this somewhere in your projects 🙂
