10 Of Saul Bass' Greatest Title Sequences
25 April 2012 9:22 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The art of movie titles is becoming an increasingly lost one: aside from a few films (the Bond movies) and directors (Steven Spielberg, David Fincher and Jason Reitman always pay particular attention to their credit sequences), it feels like relatively little care is taken over such things, with many movies dumping them altogether. And it's hard not to put that down to the fact that we don't have guys like Saul Bass around anymore.
Bass was a graphic designer from the Bronx who went out West in the 1940s and started working on film ads. After being noticed by Otto Preminger, who would become his collaborator for the next twenty years starting with "Carmen Jones" in 1954, Bass went on to design some of cinema's most iconic title sequences and posters for world-class filmmakers like Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese, often in an instantly recognizable style that remains influential »

L’Affiche – Saul Bass
12 March 2012 10:44 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
You’ve never met Saul Bass, but you know him. He is everywhere. He designed the logos of your favourite cereal (Quaker), the phone you use (At&T), the camera you have (Minolta), but most importantly the posters of the films you love. The Bass mid-century minimalist aesthetic is the face of timeless classics such as Vertigo, The Anatomy of a Murder, The Man with the Golden Arm, West Side Story, The Shining, and countless more. With a career that spanned over forty years Saul Bass was a graphic design innovator who moved film posters up the hierarchy from commercial promotional tool to a collectable print based art. In print, his work was the nexus point between metaphor and abstraction. Relying heavily on symbolic references, his visual style of fragmentation and colour blocking proposed the film’s mood, and in doing so provided it with a subliminal and additional identity. »
