I particularly like how he uses the beat and the records spinning and pulsing. This could also be a way I could link the Graphic designers names, bands and albums

Animating maps
Not a particularly spectacular example but it goes some way to demonstrate the effect I would like to achieve.
This example is a better executed example
Album/Graphic design research
One hundred best album covers written by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell. I have also been considering how to animate 'symbols' of record covers and as such have approaced the research slightly differently. Looking through this book has given me the 'visual' before the artist.
The following albums have great potential to be animated:
Reid Miles - Blue Note links to ANdy Warhol as got him to work on Kenny Burrell's 1969 Blue Lights LP.
A Blue Note release

Research - Vinyl/album art motion graphics
thesea re fairly crude and poor quality but i like some of the sequence changes.
BBC4 idents/Title research
BBC4 would be the ideal station to run my Top Ten programme as the focus is factual documentaries about culture, music and art.

More inspiration for SPIN
I found this on the title sequence website. Whilst it is not typical 'Kinetic type' I like how he uses the spin of the earth to create the movement from key frame to key frame. There is also a note about the context of the piece and the how he produced this.
Into The Wild unofficial - Jurjen Versteeg
Nice use of colour overlays and also moving in and out of screen from front to back with type from Base

Kinetic type on the net
Some really interesting illusion and moving in and out of space. I like the fact that it does not follow the 'norm' all the way through and ends up a little' crazy' which fits with the song by Gnarls Barkley.
I think some Kinetic type is made more interesting when accompanied by music, words or with the addition of simple objects. I like the visual representation of 'spin' in this motion graphic.
The music was essential for this. I like the fast pace and also the bright colours chosen:
Dubstep Tutorial from Nate Londa on Vimeo.
Mythbusters Kinetic Type from Bryan Woods on Vimeo.
Very simple yet effective I like the way he used heavier ascenders to allow new words to emerge.
Blade Runner Kinetic Type from Mikael Quick on Vimeo.
I would like to produce something as simple and effective as this:
The use of large thicker set letters as 'screens' for the other words is really effective. The 'blood' is signified so simply using red and the 'dripping':
The use of at least a hundred letters floating down really effective, maybe more effective if these had actually made up the words as you were reading them.
Simple but powerful use of effects
The words literally 'floats' way from you. Really effective use of back to front screen.
The use of floating and sinking is made more effective as he has incuded an image eluding to water.

- subsequent tasks ("free float")
- project completion date ("total float")
12. Floats (also called pontoons) are airtight hollow structures, similar to pressure vessels, whose air-filled interior makes them buoyant in water. They are most often used to make up the multipart hulls of trimarans, small open catamarans, and floatplanes (a kind of seaplane).[1]
