Lola Landekić:
Intersections: Fast Times in Title Design

Title sequence design is an art form at the nexus of filmmaking, graphic design, and typography. In this talk, Lola Landekić (Editor in Chief of “Art of the Title”) will take you on a journey through title design history and a selection of her personal favorites. Explore the wild and underappreciated world of typography in film titles, how the same idea can be executed in one medium and then, 30 years later, in another; how one designer can chameleon their way through a 40-year career; how typography can be about characters and “character”.

This talk is scheduled to take place , 2022, at New York time (/UTC), as part of the main Typographics conference. Conference registration is required to attend in person.
