This series of posters explores the possibilities of kinetic typography. How can movement reinforce a message? It also analyzes the effects of pressure to perform on one's own motivation. The results are graphic experiments and should be understood as experimental snapshots. They explore the tension between time and pressure, motivation and creativity. A certain pressure to perform is omnipresent in our world. It can be found in many different areas of life. Almost all of us have felt the psychological pressure of having to meet excessive expectations. Pressure to perform often arises because we are constantly comparing ourselves with others. We always feel that we have to be better than the people around us. And even when we are among the 'best', we are afraid of losing that position. Motivation however is often the other way around. Some people work much more effectively under pressure, others can't cope with the pressure, they become insecure and lose their motivation. It's like a downward spiral: the more pressure, the less motivation. The more pressure, the more self-doubt. It's a societal misconception that extreme pressure pushes people forward. Diamonds are made under pressure. But very, very rarely, much more often, pressure creates corns or hemorrhoids.
