Kyle Cooper is the most successful modern designer of motion picture title sequences. Cooper is a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale and holds the honorary title of Royal Designer for Industry from the Royal Society of Arts in London. Cooper claims his greatest influence in his choice of profession is Stephen Frankfurt's opening title sequence for To Kill a Mockingbird (1962).
Kyle Cooper has directed over 150 film title sequences, and has been credited with "almost single-handedly revitalizing the main-title sequence as an art form". He is the founder of two internationally recognized film design companies, Imaginary Forces and Prologue Films. Cooper earned a M.F.A. in Graphic Design from the Yale School of Art.
Cooper created the title sequence for the film 'Seven' and he uses an enigma code to entice the audience into watching the film.
What i can learn from Kyle Cooper is that it is not always neccessary to give away the plot or idea behind a film straight away- the suspence will keep the audience interested and wanting to know more.
I can also learn that it is important to use titles that are relevant to the chosen theme in order to set the themes and mood.
