Ty Mattson has created a very cool Saul Bass inspired animation as an alternative title sequence for the Dexter Showtime series. The animation uses the artwork from his super slick poster series from last year. The posters use a many iconic elements that interact with one another in the composition, which I really love. It’s inspiring to see a graphic artist’s work get picked up big time. I want to go to there.

“The poster series that I created for Dexter was inspired by mid-century modern design and particularly the work of Saul Bass – who developed both static graphics as well as animated title sequences. I’ve always wanted to design a title sequence, so it seemed like this would be a good opportunity. I collaborated with my friends at Fashion Buddha to create an alternative title sequence for Dexter using the artwork that I developed for the posters. This is what I imagine the Dexter title sequence might look like if the show had aired in the 60′s.”
