Being a title sequence creator, Kyle Cooper was part of creating clips for many famous movies like spiderman, braveheart and Tropic Thunder. One thing I noticed about his style is he creates interesting movement from scene to scene. He likes to focus on one thing, then create a camera movement that turns the object into something else. He creates clips that flow together as well as plays around with typography to capture a feeling and emotion. One title sequence clip that I really enjoy looking at is Spider-Man. His computer graphics are put together extremely well and the type plays off of that feeling.

Shepard Fairey is a unique designer who has created many memorial pieces that are still seen today. One of his most famous posters, being the Obama poster, is designed in red and blue and was used during his campaign during the election. His style is very unique in the way that he incorporates sunbursts, bold colors and fonts, art deco-like, and incorporates hidden messages. Throughout his posters, you can see how he uses extreme colors and contrasting colors. I find it interesting that he is being sued for plagiarism of an image he used in the Obama posters. This sets an example of how important it is that you do not steal images off the internet or from other people.
