![]() ![]() I’ve worked on Art of the Title now for 12 years, so I’ve talked to hundreds of people about their favorite title sequences and what woke them up to the art form. It means an appreciation for many different art forms, and a title sequence is a channel that can encompass so many of those different forms.Ī post shared by Art of the Title there a particular title sequence or title designer who initially pulled you into this art form? And title design is this perfect amalgamation of so many different art forms being a fan of title design doesn’t mean just one thing. He was an illustrator and a designer, so he wasn’t boxed in that was always very fascinating and interesting because I have a similar sensibility. What I really admired about Milton Glaser was that he had the capability of translating his skills into lots of different media. To me, that was the coolest thing you could be: the person who developed iconic images. ![]() I was exposed to a lot of design and art history at an earlier age than some kids might be, so in my teen years, I looked up to people like Milton Glaser as if they were rock stars. I got really interested in graphic design as a teenager and had the privilege of being accepted into sort of a specialized high school program for kids that were interested in art and design. It was so different and alien to me from where I had been, and that made me a lot more aware of what I was seeing, and made me absorb things in a different way. It’s how I learned more about North American society when I was very little, so I had that mindset of actively watching. I grew up as a sponge for media as a child, and I’m an immigrant to Canada, so I spent a lot of time watching television and watching movies- which is one of the ways that I learned English. ![]() When and how did you first fall in love with title sequences and their design? (This conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity and length.) Lola Landekic photographed by Calum Marsh Below, Landekic reflects on building Art of the Title for the last 12 years, her commitment to highlighting women title designers, and why the hell she loves title design so damn much. As an avid explorer of Art of the Title myself, I felt compelled to speak to the site’s sole operator and curator, the brilliant Lola Landekic. It’s the best sort of rabbit hole to fall into, providing a curated collection of credit reels, title designers, and informative articles about the medium for all to enjoy. And anyone who’s explored the world of title sequences to the lengths that I have has surely come across the invaluable website and resource Art of the Title.Īrt of the Title is an online publication dedicated to celebrating and unpacking all manner of title sequence design. ![]() I’m fortunate that my work here at PRINT allows me to nourish my love of this art form outside of dinner parties, as I’ve previously had the privilege of interviewing the legendary title designer Dan Perri, assembled end-of-year round-ups of the year’s best title sequences, and recently covered the striking opening credits for the series City on Fire. I will berate you with my adoration of the form, pulling up the Panchinko opening titles on my phone, or insisting that the Mad Men intro started a movement. It doesn’t take much to get me talking about my love of title sequences- consider yourself warned if we ever cross paths at a dinner party. ![]()
