Past is Prologue

This was a multipart project for an upcoming exhibition. Two designers were paired together, and I selected the late Saul Bass and current designer Kyle Cooper. I focused on the art of the title sequence for movies and television. Titled "Past is Prologue" the main concept was Saul Bass's creation of interesting title sequences and how that shaped the work of Kyle Cooper, who is currently the king of title sequences. The project contains a poster design, a book design, and an informational website.
Early poster drafts.
The final poster design shifted from landscape to circular to mimic a camera lens.
Early book cover drafts.
Final full cover design.
Early layout thumbnail sketches.
Examples of spreads contained in the book. Running footers were designed for each designer and the contain of the book dives into the design processes for each artist.
The website landing page provides a short introduction to the two designers. It also provides all of the information on the exhibition and links for a more in-depth view of each designer and their most prominent work.
