1st step: gathering ideas from young audiences

I have a group of children who are very artistic and imaginative to be my experimental audiences.

The children were introduced to typography animation by viewing some typographic animation found on youtube and vimeo. Before showing them the videos, I had to explain to them about the idea of typography animation since it was not clear to them why we have to animate those letters or alphabets.

After watching the videos, I wrote down Thai numerals from 1 to 10 on a blank sheet of paper and asked them what they think about those numbers; what each one looks like and how they want those numbers to interact with each other. The children, then, started to doodle on around each number and sort of told me the stories in their own way. The result was quite random and unrelated although some of the idea was quite interesting.
