One City/Many Futures

One City/Many Futures was four night lecture series that offered a panoramic view of the next Portland, featuring a line-up of the people and projects defining the city’s future: top city officials, developers, architects, and community activists. The series was organized by Randy Gragg. 

This title sequence was designed to be played in a continuous loop while people took their seats each night. It served as a preview to the night's speakers as well as a promotion for upcoming lectures.
