• Two title cards in which vignetted air-brushed effect in background design was created by the simple process set forth here by the author. Below— showing simple step-by-step process in making airbrushed effects in title card designs.
ing a simple tooth brush and a piace of ordinary window screen. Dipping the brush into paint, it was drawn over the screen which was held above the title card. The paint laden bristles being drawn over the screen would flick minute particles of the paint over the title card, creating a reasonable approach to an airbrush effect. Another amateur simply used an ordinary paint brush; the brush, dipped in paint, was struck against a solid object held near the title card, splashing particles of paint over it. However, where a fine airbrush effect — a good imitation of the real thing was wanted — these two systems fell far short of success.
I found the simplest method of gaining an airbrushed effect was to use ordinary pencil lead, rubbed gently on the title card as pictured in the sketches below. The two titles at top of page are examples of the airbrushed designs created by this method. The whole procedure is very simple if one will follow the illustrations.

_|NE professional title effect coveted by the amateur more than any other is the airbrushed designs and decorations often seen in the backgrounds of many titles in many current motion pictures. In Hollywood, airbrushed designs in title cards are produced by artists with the aid of an in
strument that is nothing more or less than a diminuitive spray gun.
With such an instrument usually beyond the means of the average amateur, he has sought ether ways in which to imitate the airbrushed effect in creating background designs for his titles. One amateur conceived the idea of us
To create the drapery design shown in the "End" title above, two patterns were cut from card board — one with an inverted curve edge, the other a plain rectangle. To produce the curved design, the curved edge of pattern was coated with graphite from a soft pencil lead as shown in the 1st sketch. This pattern was then laid over the title card, as shown in 2nd sketch, and the pencil graphite rubbed off the pattern on to
