Kinetic Type Animation - Color Palette

For this color palette, I researched and chose some of the original colors used in the playbill for Wicked to stay on theme with the origin and basis for the quote itself.

Kinetic Type Animation - Typography Choices

Impact Font

For my main font choice, I picked Impact. I decided to use Impact for the guy whose voice was most prominent throughout the quote. Not only does the name of the font itself perfectly represent the nature of the first voice, but its structure does as well.

Monserrat Light Font

For my second font choice, I went with something that was light and thin. This font was used for the second voice, the one that was consistently being interrupted and talked over. It paired well with the bold, overpowering nature of Impact and I felt as though was a good representation of the expressions behind the second voice in the quote.
