Saul Bass Post





Saul Bass is an American Graphic Designer famous for his collection of movie posters(such as these shown: The Shining, and Vertigo) as well as his title sequences for movies like The Man With The Golden Arm and Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest. In his long 40-year career he also came up with the AT&T Logo, The Quaker Oats logo and many others.
His unique style utilizes a lot of bright monochromatic colors to illustrate his logos as well as his movie posters. The over all design looks rather simple but gets the message across clearly. The two posters above I picked for one they both seem to characterize Saul Bass' style very well. They both use one color, as well as black and white, and have his illustrations that really grasp the nature of the movies.
