Movie Title Screenshots

CLICK HERE
This is my new favourite website. Website designer Christian Annyas watches a lot of films and to prove it he started to take screenshots of the opening credits. Just where the name of the film appears he print screens. The collection is vast, ranging from the black and white, silent films of the twenties to the brand new additions of your typical Hollywood blockbusters. From the outset it might seem like a website purely for people interested in film, however when you start to search and take in more imagery you quickly realise how typography related it is. Some titles are beautiful and obviously a lot of effort went into crafting them, others are a lot more rushed but fit in incredibly well within the concept of the film. A few of my favourites examples are below.

Examples from 2000 to 2009:

Examples from 1960 to 1969:
