Designer Presentations

Kyle Cooper

He studied under Paul Rand. He has filmed many movies, including, Se7en, Spider-Man, and Dawn of the Dead. He experiments with typography and designs movie titles. He designed the openings for the Spider-Man movies. His designs comprise of flat color planes. He liked to animate text. It shows that he is a great designer because of his work for such diverse movies. I really liked his work. He's one of my new favorite designers. 

Shepard Fairey

This is the creator of the Obama "Hope" design. His work is influenced by Art Deco, and most of his work is dark black and red. Many of his political statements are hidden within his work. His fonts are bold and colorful. He liked showing his work on the streets so that he could communicate with the community. The "Giant" design he made was so interesting to people, and he was only making it for a joke. His design career began from there. I really like his Animal Farm poster because it's so decorative.
