Summary
A creative profession specializing in the production of opening titles, title logos, and visual expressions for TV programs.
Description
Television Title Artists are specialists who design and produce title logos, illustrations, and animations that appear at the beginning or end of TV programs. They understand the program content and concept, utilizing typography, color schemes, and layouts to create visually appealing expressions. Skills in both hand-drawn and digital illustration are required, and they collaborate with production companies or in-house teams at broadcasting stations to balance quality and deadlines. In recent years, dynamic title production incorporating CG and motion graphics has increased, making proficiency in video editing software and 3D tools advantageous.
