Saul Bass & Kyle Cooper

Saul Bass was a graphic designer who became famous for his work in film and classic logo design. Some may argue that he changed the way into attracting audiences to watch films as most American film industries were using techniques like posters or boring paintings. Saul bass' work is commonly known for his geometric shapes and the way he symbolises it. In most of title sequence an image stands out which delivers the most effective message to the audience.  He became popular in the film industry after creating his title sequence 'The Man With the Golden Arm' in 1955.

Bass worked with great directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. With all these experience Saul Bass would go on to make animated opening title sequences. Saul Bass changed the course of opening titles not just by getting information across to the audience through pictures but also giving a short story that intrigued the viewer as well as giving them some sort of information before the film begins. Most of the time it would be a synopsis or reference to the movie itself. He progressed from making these creative images on to making logos of some airlines.
