DESCRIPTION: “Things My Grandpa Told Me” is a kinetic typography piece that was created in Dreamweaver. My grandpa passed away a few years ago and before he passed, he wrote his grandchildren a book which he called “Things I Wish My Grandparents Had Told Me.” The book contains details about his life that we did not know before. I included his picture and surrounding it is some passages from his book. When the mouse is moved around the piece, the text grows, shrinks, and even spins around. This is one of my favorite artworks I have ever done as it pays tribute to my grandpa and his life he led.
