The Essential Saul Bass

If you have seen the movie posters of The Man with the Golden Arm, Vertigo, Anatomy of a Murder and North by Northwest from the 1950s Hollywood then I should stop here. The iconic posters were designed by Saul Bass (1920–96), the American artist. Bass donned many hats: he was a graphic designer and Academy Award winning filmmaker. He has been more popular for his title sequences, films posters and logos that he designed for various organisations. Industry experts credited Saul Bass as the designer who has changed how the audience view film credits.
