=** Title Tips **= A title helps support the communication of your work's meaning to your audience and should never take center stage. A title should: ● direct the viewer's attention to what your work is communicating ● clarify their suppositions ● confirm their interpretations ● deepen their understanding

USE POWER WORDS

Use words that get quickly to the main point of the message that your work is communicating. Titles are especially powerful when they explore the main conflict of your work.

"Murder Your Darlings" Be wary of the title that you fall in love with at first sight". Take a second look at it in the daylight to be sure that it is as good looking as you really think it is. One way to shed some light on your title is to compare it to other titles. Sometimes you have to kill off a title that you really love so you can get to the one that really works.

What's in a name? Play with the words in your title. Wrestle with them if you have to. Dali could have called his famous painting "A Persistence of Memory" instead of "The Persistence of Memory". Using "the" implies a broader societal meaning while "a" communicates a more personal meaning. Question: Why did Dali not just call it "Persistence of Thoughts"?
