Catch Me If You Can opening title sequence


Catch Me If You Can title sequence by Kuntzel & Deygas. Fantastic use of simple imagery, signs, symbols and a limited colour palette to communicate the content of the film.

Quantum Of Solace Opening Sequence


Another really well produced James Bond film opening titles. Again the theme of the particular film is very well communicated through the animated sequence with solar flares and desert scenes inter-woven with typography title captions and the Bond character silhouette.

Casino Royale Title Sequence


Brilliant animated sequence from the opening titles of the 2007 James Bond film 'Casino Royale'. I think the video is really well choreographed and the casino theme is carried very well throughout with different elements such as the four suits used in cards, Kings/Queens& Jacks, roulette wheels all tied into a well established character.

Typography is what language looks like




This beautifully composed typography video sequence by Ellen Lupton is the perfect introduction to the 'Design for Digital' module. Seeing as we are meant to produce short videos about three given words using only letterform to communicate them, this sequence shows how carefully arranged type, colour and layout when combined with some fairly simple techniques can create a highly effective video.
