Google Doodle, May 8, 2013 - Saul Bass

I’m a huge Saul Bass fan. My interest in his ground-breaking movie title design piqued during college, when I was taking a Graphic Design history course, focusing on the 20th century.

I ended up writing a research paper on Bass’ work with noted directors like Hitchcock and Preminger and how Bass’’ unique style and vision revolutionized the film and design world.

I love and admire his bold use of line, shape, and concept in a design field that before him, was almost non-existent.

Happy Birthday, Saul.
