How many people in a day take the time to read the Obituary section of the newspaper? How many people really care? 

This type sketch is meant to mimic the traditional typewriting style for typing and printing the obituary section that not many people really pay attention to. I wanted to add a slight dark humor/twist by distracting the audience with serious, grave, sarcastic, and slightly humorous obituaries from the past (based on real account too!), and have a final say at the end, which is something that they pay the least attention to: the obituary column writer, the forgotten one. 

In a more conceptual and deeper metaphoric parallel, because this is still a type project, I wanted to make the analogy of using the idea of the unnoticed yet functional obituary column writer to symbolically represent the idea of what typography means to me: invisible yet still functional that it successfully communicate its message across. In this animation, the dead obituary column writer symbolically represents how there is so much bad typography around us? ironically including the usual typography set for the obituary section of the newspaper.
