Kyle Cooper

Main title designer Kyle Cooper has been credited as the man who single-handedly revitalized the main title sequence as an art form. His groundbreaking title sequence for Se7en (1995) changed the way we look and think about title design today and is arguably the most imitated main title ever made. The Se7en title sequence was hailed by New York Times Magazine as “One of the most important design innovations of the 1990s”.

Cooper founded two internationally recognized film design companies, Imaginary Forces and Prologue Films, both of which are based in Los Angeles and both are influential in their field. His body of work includes over 100 film title sequences. Among his most memorable ones are Dawn of the Dead, Spider-Man (all three), The Islang of Dr. Moreau.

I was really interested in Kyle cooper because of his work he did with the film titles for the film seven which is one of my favourite film of all time. Only by researching these designers that I was really aware of the title sequence for the film seven and am able to appriecate it much more
