Film Titles 50's-60's

Part of Northwest Film Forum's annual ByDesign series (which explores "the intersection of graphic design and moving image" and features a butt-ton of opportunities for fascination), this talk by curator Peter Lucas covers the history of film title sequences—an art form you might think exists to be endured, tolerated, or, at best, ignored. You might be wrong! Lucas will screen classic sequences from Pablo Ferro, Maurice Binder, and the great Saul Bass. If he were me, he would also show the opening credits from the original The Parent Trap, a tiny, a-goddamn-dorable movie in itself. (Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave, 829-7863. 5 pm, $9.)- the Stranger

Now that internet-enabled devices are in nearly every pocket or purse, design and development for the mobile platform has rapidly become a key sector of interactive design. Join us for an evening focused on the design and development of applications, websites, and experiences for mobile devices.

Leaders from companies in both the design and mobile sectors will host discussions on process, concepts, and execution of interaction design for mobile platforms. This HIVE event will be organized in a new format with smaller groups to allow for a more intimate exchange.
