This is the first monograph on the work of American designer Kyle Cooper, the most significant creator of film titles since Saul Bass. His extraordinary title sequence for David Fincher's horror-thriller Seven (1995) is credited by many with bringing about a renaissance in innovative title design. Cooper is one of the founders of the Los Angeles-based company Imaginary Forces and has produced a dazzling succession of titles for such films as True Lies, The Island of Dr Moreau, Twister, Mimic, Donnie Brasco, Reindeer Games, Spider-Man and Arlington Road. In 2000, he shot his first feature, New Port South, a noirish teen drama set in American suburbia.
