More than 1000 films, more then 300 credits sequences, more than 200 creators . . . An indispensable piece of work in order to gain a global knowledge of one of the best known, yet least recognized specialties of the graphic world. This book presents the background to the present, future and inevitable trends of motion graphics. UNCREDITED is the first text to give a general and historic insight into the role which graphic design plays in films, from the dawn of cinema to present day. It presents a critical analysis of the opening title sequences, thus throwing light on the typographic work and composition of anonymous designers or of those rarely credited. An analysis which as well as revisiting the best known artists such as Saul Bass, Pablo Ferro, Maurice Binder and Kyle Cooper, uncovers the incursion of prestigious designers into this specialty such as Tibor Kalman, Mklton Glaser, David Hillman, Juan Gatti and Simon Taylor.
