Indeed, the word in Hollywood is that some filmmakers have refused to work with Cooper, says Dawn of the Dead director Zach Snyder, because he’s “the guy who makes title sequences better than the movie.”

Directors don’t call on Cooper for a signature style; they hire him to dig under the celluloid and tap into the symbolism of a film.

Have been cited as the most influential film credit designer since Saul Bass.

The type for titles such as ones done for American Horror Story interact with the graphics in a way that allow the type to react the same way on screen as the film. Falling under the horror category/genre, it allows the viewers to feel the same sense of uneasiness and fear with the type as they would when watching the actual show.

As for the Avengers, it’s similar to what was done for AHS, where the type moves and reacts to any of the actions going on in the background (fading/swirling/flashing).
