In many movies there is various opening title designers hired to create the best opening credits for that specific film. Out of all the film I have watched I cant instantly say which opening title sequence I enjoyed the most, however, a specific designer who I like is Kyle Cooper. He has created credits for movies such as seven, nightmare on Elm Street, Flubber, Zoo-lander and many others.
As you can see Kyle Cooper is very versatile, he is able to change what genre his opening title sequence of the film is going to be depending on who the film is aimed at and whether it’s a comedy or a thriller. Cooper is commonly compared to Saul Bass, another well known opening title sequence designer, and in my opinion I believe its because they are both very versatile. Bass, who died in 1996, was not only a graphic designer but a filmmaker too. He worked for many respected directors like Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese, and also his designs for world large business logos. Saul Bass was known for his opening title sequence in Otto Preminger’s film The Man with the Golden Arm, and in Hitchock’s Psycho.
