Saul Bass Research


In Wednesday's lesson we looked at a graphic designer Saul Bass and a bit about him and his work as a title sequence designer as well.
He is an American graphic designer, born in May 1920 and died in April 1996. He went to a art collage. He is most famous for his logo designs in posters as well as his title sequence work. Bass' title sequences are unique because of his hand drawn images and geometric shapes and their symbolic meanings. He became recognisable after his title sequence called 'The Man with the Golden Arm'. Bass worked with Alfred Hitchcock. Here are some of the title sequences Bass worked with Hitchcock: 
  • North By Northwest (1959)
  • Vertigo (1958)
  • Psycho (1960)
We were told to do a bit of research on Saul Bass.
I decided to do it as a PowerPoint so it is easier to see the images and information.

I also included an Analysis of one of his title sequences.
