This poster is awesome! I love all 6 posters that you have done for Dexter. What about giving some love back to LOST and creating seasons posters for that as well?

Fantastic work! Love the simplicity of the colours and shapes. Reminds me of a bit of Saul Bass’ style, but still set apart.

Ty Mattson on Dexter
Last year I designed a poster series inspired by Dexter. My artwork was so well received, that Showtime invited me to make a guest appearance on the show! You can see me above, searching the crime scene with a flashlight.
I also walk behind Deb and Laguerta in the hallway of the police department. Don’t blink. It was such a fun experience to be a part of the show. When I designed the prints, I never imagined that they would land me a part on the program. So cool.
I even got to pal around with Dexter himself, aka Michael C. Hall – who was cool enough to customize my outgoing voicemail greeting. Which you can listen to below.

Ty Mattson Dexter Intro
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.
You can buy the posters I designed here.

As a huge fan of Dexter, I have to say I can’t see SHO ditching Digital Kitchen’s stellar and perfect tongue-in-cheek title sequence any time soon, but I’d love love LOVE to see this used on the DVD releases, along with the brilliant mock-up artwork you created for same; their DVD packaging leaves a LOT to be desired!

That is AWESOME. I have all your Dex posters and love their work! Mad love.
This is kind of the best thing ever. oh man!
what steve said!
That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The best part: The text message that says “Print it”. You know you have reached a certain “level” with your printer when you can just send a text. In other words, I cannot send a text message to my printer. :-)
That was just plain entertaining. And very clever.
