This is the work of Mr. Saul Bass. Saul Bass was a graphic designer of the 1950's right up until early 90's. Saul Bass was born in 1920 and died in April of 1996. His work is known for picking and emphasizing key scenes from a movie and placing it on the advertizement poster. These scenes or pictures were pieced together to look like is was cut or puzzled together like almost broken. With this, Saul Bass created his pieces relying a lot of positive and negative space. For example in the center image above, he made the man with the flower with only a head and 2 arms but if forces you to see the connection and the rest of the torso. Saul Bass was a graphic designer before there was computer printing and sometime after. His post computer work and after computer work did not seem to change until his final design for //Schinlder's List.// I chose this specific designer because Saul Bass' work seemed to stand out from all other designer's work that I've seen. It appeared to be so retro and almost strange for the 50's. I chose him because he was different.
