Title sequences: no one talks about it

Thinking with type, type matters, motion graphic design and fine art animation are some of the books that this research began with. After looking for more content on google books and jstor (and other websites) it was interesting to see that there's almost no content regarding title sequences.

There's almost no theory about the semantics, no discussion. Only instructional texts, overviews and historical facts that repeat the same.

In order to improve the project one of the ideas was to investigate about a particular artist or genre. It was also considered exploring the connection between traditional graphic design and this sub-discipline. But after reading more texts and seeing how they approached this topic it was easy to see that semantics is always barely mentioned, but in different texts they say different things that they might be not necessarily contradictory, but they add up to each other.

These analysis put together with the text written by Georg Stanitzek, which goes into very much detail, should give an even more detailed and expanded vision of this topic that hasn't had the attention it deserves.
