About Team Thursday
Loes van Esch and Simone Trum are collaborating as a graphic design duo under the name Team Thursday since 2010.
They focus on the design of visual identities and books varying in scale and complexity. Next to that Team Thursday irregularly hosts exhibitions and events in the front part of their studio space, TTHQ, in Rotterdam (NL). In addition to their daily practice they teach Typography at ArtEZ Arnhem.
Workshop Information
Music is a social glue that brings us together and enhances our well-being. When we sing our neurotransmitters connect in new and different ways, releasing endorphins that make us smarter, happier and more creative. When we do this with other people, the effect is amplified!
What better way is there for singing together than karaoke? Singing and performing Karaoke songs is expressive, hilarious, dramatic and can even be heavy. In contrast to this, karaoke interfaces always use basic and unimaginative on-screen typography…
Together we reimagine karaoke typography and create a music video for our favourite iconic karaoke song.
Experiment with new and various techniques: motion graphics, kinetic/coded typography, in an analogue way using stop-motion animation, AfterEffects, Photoshop, GIFs, hand-drawn, photography or in any other way you like.
Dissect a part of your chosen song, and challenge yourself with designing its typographic video which people can sing along with. Carefully consider how you could visualise the selected part of the song and lyrics.
We will end the workshop by bringing together the complete animated videos in a festive karaoke showcase!
