Saul Bass was a graphic designer and film maker who was best known for his design of film posters and motion pictures.
An interesting fact I found out about Saul Bass was that he was an assistant in the art department of Warner Bros. He then joined an Advertising agency and later moved to Los Angeles to work as an art director. His path to success looks like a fantastic path to follow. Experience in the industry is crucial for young students who want to succeed. As well as his artwork being brilliant, I think his journey through life is also a big inspiration as it show commitment can lead to success.
Moving on to the artwork, I really like the bold use of colour in his posters, especially in the poster for vertigo, 1958. Using simple shapes to make a simple but complex illusion of a spiral looks like a strong piece of art. It catches my eye straight away and I could see it being used in a tube station for advertisement.
