Title Design

This is one of those things that I have always loved, but never took the time to dive deeper into. I came across this really inspiring video today and wanted to share it with you. I have a soft spot for the opening sequences of films and shows like Catch Me If You Can or Mad Men. Those first crucial moments and minutes define and prepare you for what you are about to experience. It takes a very talented hand to put these sequences together. It thrills me to watch the text unfold in such an artistic fashion, filled with in-your-face identity and both visual and aural emotion. These "Titles" are works of art by themselves.

Return

I've been work work working away since I last left you!


SO here is what's new and some additional thoughts for the day. Let's ease back into this slowly. :)

1. I joined Twitter *Gasp*. Find me there! @KTrinalynn

2. I think I'm ready to come back to the Blog-y world. I have new found inspiration and loves. I hope that if you come across these pages, you will be inspired and find a way to show it.

3. I fall deeper in love with LA every day.

4. I still don't know where my place in the internet is. It is so overwhelming. God give me the strength to pursue and prevail over my fears!

5. I think the ladies over at Rue magazine have a good thing going on. They are ladies after my own heart.
PLAN: Collaboration! I wish I could enlist them to help me plan my 30th bday party this September. It should be fabulous, but I don't know if I have the time.....

6. I stopped downloading all the free iTunes songs each week. I'm tired of having music show up on my iPod that I don't recognize.

7. I can hear the call of my paintbrush in the distance.

8. Have a wonderful weekend. I look forward to this new journey of discovery.
