Far as I'm concerned, the title of a graphic is about as important as the frame or border. That is to say, not very.
Unless you're pursuing some Dadaist joke or representing some sort of post modernism, the title should really be a bald reflection of the graphic content.
Even Dali's titles were more or less a straightforward description of the paintings; it just happened the paintings themselves weren't straightforward, hence the somewhat bizarre titles. I've done it myself once or twice, when the subject matter needed it but at the core, my titles are always a description of what's going on.
Don't even get me started on borders and frames; they're the most pointless waste of screen space I could ever think of.
And yes, The Skids were great. A real shame about Adamson.
