Frame by frame, these judges set the bar.
From dynamic kinetic typography to dramatic cinematic intros that make a show’s title feel like the main event, stunning title sequence design can turn an expected roll call into a visual spectacle. A well-crafted title sequence not only introduces the audience to the narrative world but also enhances the overall viewing experience through typography, motion, sound, and imagery. It serves as a bridge between reality and fiction, immersing viewers before the story even begins. Beyond aesthetics, an effective title sequence can establish themes, evoke emotions, and create a lasting impression, making it a powerful tool for branding and storytelling alike.
Our PRINT Awards jurors for this new category, Karin Fong, Justin Sottile, and Katie Rominger, are experts in dynamic intros, exciting animation, and cutting-edge motion design. From opening frames to final judgment, this jury team is eager to review your work!
