Saul Bass

We have been set a task to blog about Saul Bass because he is legendary in what he does. Most of Kyle Coopers work wouldn't look the same if it wasn't for Bass.
Saul Bass is a graphic designer born in New York City in 1920. His career was as long as 40 years in the industry and he worked on title sequences such as The Man With The Golden Arm, North by NorthWest and Psycho. He developed the graphic design industry with his innovative ideas and unique perspective of the world.








I chose this as one of the posters to represent Saul Bass's work because i think it gets the key idea of the film through the image, which is that two men are falling into something. The idea of the word vertigo is about being scared of heights and getting a  a light head sensation. This is shown in the poster with the hypnotizing circles which represents the characters feeling and emotions. I haven't seen the film yet but i have got a pretty good idea of what it is about which shows that Bass has done a impressive job.

 

I have not watched the movie Anatomy of a Murder but i can have a good guess at what its about.
Anatomy of a Murder stands out to me because of the color and the bold text. The poster just like Vertigo clearly identifies what the movie is about in my opinion. The dead body with its legs and arms not attached to his body identifies clearly what the movie is about, its represents a mysterious death as the man is dead but we have no idea how he died and why his arms and legs have been pulled off.
