    I like the idea of a type showreel. It's certainly a lot better than showcasing something static.

    If I were to give comments on yours, I'd say it's just too slow, too long. Perhaps, this is because you don't have a lot of work to fill up the time. Maybe use a different audio track (something not so sleepy). You can use the same amount of projects, but perhaps use more cuts (maybe it scales in slow motion, then cuts quickly to a close up of the letters). I'd even go as fast as changing the pace across screens (maybe some things move slowly, then it's a cut of something moving much faster). I would have a screen up for more than a few seconds.

    Get rid of the dark vignette effect (looks cheesy), and simply go with darkening to straight black instead.

    Cut about 45 seconds off of the entire thing too.

    Unlike some of the folks above, I really like how you're animating some of the type. I like how some screens are static but slowly scaling up but some type is animated (shows how this could be used in other applications other than static design). I'd take it a step further and have a few pieces of type animated even more (like a letter by letter reveal or something).
