Really enjoying the course thus far! In the "Takeaways" video you mention 3 key principals of title design, but after watching the "Overview" video I didn't hear 3 key principals listed. What are they? Sorry if this is a really banal question or I'm totally missing an obvious moment where it was stated. My best guess would be: 1) Typography, 2) Composition, and 3) Sound/Music, but I think any of these could also fit: Color, Motion/movement, Speed/pacing, Symbology.
