Michael’s first experience with film title design was at an internship under Tibor Kalman
at his New York studio, M&Co. When he saw Mr. Kalman use typography as a thoughtful,
conceptual, and expressive element in music videos and film titles, he realized the
possibilities of mixing design with film.
