Titles and Subtitles: the Beauty of Accessibility
summary
A SAV Lab team from Politecnico di Milano examines typography’s communicative role in audiovisual content, treating subtitles not as add-ons but as integral titles and visual-verbal elements that join images and sound. They present research and a design experiment showing how subtitle typography and graphic–sonic relationships can convey emotion and align subtitle intonation with musical expressivity, and discuss designing all on-screen type to guide viewing and preserve emotional engagement.
