Résumé:
Kyle Cooper is acclaimed as one of the most innovative and important designer of film titles since Saul Bass. This attractive and informative book offers the first critical and historical assessment of Cooper's impressive design achievements. In this book, Andrea Codrington relates that Cooper's work first garnered major attention in 1995 with his creation of the extraordinary title sequence for the horror thriller "Seven", which is credited with bringing about a renaissance in innovative film title design. Seven's titles were touted as short films in their own right-not merely a "design solution" but a metaphorical representation of the film as a whole. Codrington also discusses Cooper's work at the titles specialist R.Greenberg before he founded in 1996 his own Los Angeles based company, Imaginary Forces. As creative director there, Cooper now oversees a ninety-person team and has designed a stunning succession of highly regarded titles for such films as "Eraser", "Mission impossible", "Twister", "The mummy", "The horse whisperer", "The negotiator", and "Arlington road".

Résumé:
S'il fallait caractériser, vite, le talent de ce surdoué polonais émigré en France dès 1963, c'est le mot «jaillissement» qui s'imposerait tant son œuvre témoigne, dès ses débuts, d'une effervescence de l'imagination servie par une surprenante aisance à manier les signes graphiques, lettres et couleurs incluses, des signes qu'il mène à un point d'exaspération d'une stupéfiante efficacité. Ses noirs cernent rigoureusement le propos, ses rouges font flamber la page. Les directeurs de communication et ceux de la presse illustrée ne s'y sont pas trompés qui l'ont chargé de donner à leurs produits une image de modernité et d'extrême spécificité. Affiches de cirques et d'opéras, de musées et de films, campagnes publicitaires, logotypes et alphabets, photomontages et collages, tout lui est bon à démontrer, avec une audace parfaitement contrôlée, son exceptionnelle virtuosité.
