One of my biggest passions is poetry. In many ways I see its qualities like I do motion design. It is all about tone, rhythms, motion, emotion and expression/communication in a new form. One of my favorite poets is Cornelius Eady. He draws upon many influences, but one of the main ones is the music genre of blues and jazz. He wrote a poem after the jazz musician and civil right activist Nina Simone died, it is called "Nina's Blues." I love this poem and recenlty discovered that someone had animated it. This was very exciting! I think this could have been improved with more typographic detial but i love the idea behind it. Hope you enjoy
