Today we’re celebrating the Academy Award winning film, Apollo 13!

Every week we’ll share the title cards from each highlighted Oscar winner. Title cards and sequences have been and still are an important part of the film industry and how films are viewed. They set the tone for the film from the beginning and typographers and graphic designers have been influencing the way films are perceived as long as they have existed.
