Lyric Videos

I used to think that graphic design only applied to posters or advertisements but now after learning more about it, I can see that it is important even when creating a video. Lyric videos to be exact. When an artist releases an official music video to one of their songs, it is up to graphic designers to best portray the song through pictures and words. This can been seen very clearly through the lyric video that was recently released for 5SOS's new song "Don't Stop".


Another type of lyric music video that is very common would be those that only contain words. Now, with the help of graphic design, people are able to creatively flash the lyrics on the screen instead of just rolling them out in a form of credits like they used to do. Designers are now able to arrange the words so that they flow and this not only makes it look better, but some words can also be portrayed differently in order to give them more emphasis. An example of one such video would be the one made for The Ready Set's "Young Forever".
