Parties & Perfume

I stopped by Galeria Ortiz last night on my walk over to my buddy Rob and his wife Lisa's place over in Olmos Park and was treated to not only some very cool new works by artist Franco Mondini-Ruiz, but the cup cakes and champagne made for a very nice pitstop!


Galeria Ortiz Contemporary is located at 4026 McCullough, just one block north of Hildebrand, across from Julian Gold. I'm not sure how long the Parties & Perfume show is up, the site had no end date info, but if you're in the neighborhood Galeria Ortiz is most definitely worth the stop - check it out!

Moving Titles

I'm always a sucker for smart and visually interesting title design. Equally fascinating to me is the process and thinking behind the creation of these opening and closing sequences. If you're as easily sucked in as I am then you'll dig this amazing source of inspiration for motion graphics and title sequences: Art Of The Title.

Title Goes Here

First of all, if you've yet to see Thank You For Smoking, you're missing a greatf flick.

And the main titles are especially sweet. Because we all know what they say about first impressions.

That’s why both Hollywood and independent studios are spending time and resources to create the most appropriate main title sequences for their films. At its very best, a title sequence is a self-contained hybrid that combines multiple media – motion graphics, film, animation, cgi – to compress the essence of the film it introduces.

The SubmarineChannel has started an online collection of the most stunning and original main titles. Some are engaging or wildly entertaining, funny, exhilarating or deadly beautiful. Some are oozing with visual treats while others hit you hard with their bold and audacious style.

Either way, if you're into type you'll dig.
