This project explores the psychological and emotional impact of typography through animation. The objective was to convey the meaning of the word "paranoid" purely through the treatment of type and the strategic application of design elements and principles. The animated GIF demonstrates how typography can become a powerful storytelling medium, using movement, spacing, scale, and timing to evoke the unsettling, anxious nature of paranoia. The design employs kinetic typography techniques to create visual tension and unease, reflecting the mental state the word represents.
