Saul Bass was an American graphic designer (May 8, 1920 – April 25, 1996) and Academy Award-winning filmmaker, the things that made him most famous, however, was his animated title sequences. He worked with such directors as Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick. He worked on legendary thrillers such as 'Vertigo' and 'Psycho', and added to the tension created by Hitchcock.
Bass was an expert at designing things that stood out, as well as title sequences he also created logos for many huge companies, such as the Continental Airlines' 1968 "jetstream" logo which became the most recognized airline industry logo of the 1970s.
His work is very relevant to what our group is doing now as his title sequences, although very clever, are simple to do to an extent. Obviously this varies from sequence to sequence but as we can see in such films as 'The Human Factor' not all of it is impossible to duplicate and draw inspiration from.
Good use of important influence. If you do create similar ideas, make sure this is blogged again.
