hat does this Bob Kurtz
think!
Bob Kurtz once said 'My philosophy is tairly simple I
am a communicator, theretore the messae comes tirst,
then the raphics. I want to stimulate, excite, scare or
create lauhter. I don't want a passive audience. I don't
expect a captive audience. It is the tilm artist's
obliation to reach out and touch that audience."
From this, it is very clear to identity Bob Kurtz's
purpose as a desiner. His aim is to convey meanins
and messaes towards the audience, throuh his
desins.
ow enough text, let's see
something visuals!

Are_We_Done_Yet
From the title sequence, I believe we can identity many thins that tell
us important intormation about the tilm
Rapid transition ot text could well identity that the movie is likely to
be located in numerous places and tast paced
Yellow tont could well be connotation ot pleasure simply as 'In
Western countries, yellow represents joy and happiness.' Font used
could well suest that the tilm is likely to be jolly based than
upsettin based
Cartoon look ot characters and actions seen establish the enre ot the
tilm which is likely to be 'comedy'. By actions I'm reterrin to the
contlict between the characters and the title sequence tont. With prior
understandin, it should be clear that humans should never be in
contlict with tont as they have tull control over what type ot tont is
used...IN THE REAL WORLD ANYWAY
Two kids lauhin could well establish that there are kids in the tilm.
From analyzin the scenario whereby the kids were lauhin, we could
state that they could well be centre ot attention or could well be key to
the tilms plot
Contlict between 'Male' character and other materials in title
sequence could illustrate a path ot strule in the tilm - tilm could be
based on the development ot one thin prior to another
BIO BOLD TEXT 'CONDEMNED' could suest that there is an
element ot daner throuhout the tilm too

The_Pink_Panther
Pink tont used most likely to indicate to us that there is some sort ot
relationship involved in the tilm
Font used to imply the enre ot 'adventure' simply as adventures are
otten tun, quirky and mysterious just like the tont itselt
Once aain, contlict between the livin (otticer) and unlivin
(vehicle) could establish the tilm bein part comedy also
Lnrealistic acts trom Pink Panther could turther establish the tilm
bein part comedy as well
Enima created. What do these two characters have aainst each
other. How is the Pink Panther intellient.
