Meaning-making textual effects Use any variety of textual effects (fonts, colors, animation, web widgets, handwriting/drawing, etc) in a way which alters and enhances the meaning(s) of the text itself. That is, if the words move, there must be a reason for them to be doing so; if they are shaped/colored/otherwise manipulated, it must be purposeful. Don't worry about others "getting" your meaning; the making of meaning is just as much the reader's/viewer's activity as it is yours. Your purpose is to create a textual effect which allows meaning to be created. The text can be any length, from a single word to several sentences / lines.
