Kyle Cooper

Summary: If size does matter...
Review: Then first of all its small. That is, its smaller in size than the average design book. (24X19 cm). I don't know what I was hoping to find there but looking at stills from a work that is very much time and movement oriented seems awkward especially when these breathtaking Film titles are easily found on IF's web site. (imaginaryforces.com) So what is there in the book after all? A nice summery of the (short) history of Title design. Commentary about coopers work. Some nice drafts and sketches for works. (Seven - Coopers most revered work appears in the book only in sketches) Note that they were drawn by storyboard artist and not by cooper.
Kyle cooper a genius of his art deserves much appreciation but if this book does it, well, you be the judge.
As a regular graphic design reference book, any David Carson or such would be better.
