It’s usually the first thing you see in a film — the title — and some filmmakers have elevated that moment to high-design art. And one enterprising lover of typography and cinema has created an online storehouse of the best.
Christian Annyas is a website designer who loves movies. According to his site, “I’ve seen a lot of movies over the years, and to prove I’ve sat through at least the first ten minutes of them I started making screenshots of the titles.” Lucky for us, because Annyas has hundreds and hundreds of title cards on his site, cataloged by year from 1902 to the present.
