Suppose you want to announce or sell something, amuse or persuade someone, explain a complicated system or demonstrate a process. In other words, you have a message you want to communicate. How do you “send” it? Graphic design is a part of your daily life. From humble things like gum wrappers to huge things like billboards to the T-shirt you’re wearing, graphic design informs, persuades, organizes, stimulates, locates, identifies, attracts attention and provides pleasure. Graphic design is a creative process that combines art and technology to communicate ideas. The designer works with a variety of communication tools in order to convey a message from a client to a particular audience. The main tools are image and typography. American Institute of Graphic Artists (http://www.aiga.org/guide- whatisgraphicdesign/) Duncanrig Secondary School Department of Art&Design Art & Design Studies Saul Bass was a graphic designer and filmmaker, perhaps best known for his design of film posters and title sequences. Saul worked side-by-side with his wife Elaine Bass for much of his career. Together, they created some of the strongest graphic design in film to this day. Saul Bass was a great 20th-century American graphic designer, who created the corporate image and memorably stunning logos for numerous American companies. Saul Bass was, first and foremost a pioneering 1950s Hollywood designer, the founder of conceptual cover design, who created the motion picture title sequences and posters for a great many films. Saul Bass developed a simplified, symbolic design language that visually communicated all the essential elements of a film. Bass designed emblematic posters that made a stunning visual impact, thus revolutionizing animated film graphics and the visuals of film advertising. Born in the Bronx, Saul Bass was given a scholarship to the Art Students League in 1936.From 1944 until 1946 Saul Bass studied at Brooklyn College. He worked in New York as a freelance commercial artist for advertising agencies and companies, including Warner Bros. In 1946 Saul Bass went to Los Angeles, where he continued to work as a commercial artist. By 1952 he had a practice of his own, which was registered from 1955 as Saul Bass & Associates. In 1954 he received his first commission from the director Otto Preminger to design the title sequence for his film "Carmen Jones". This commission was followed in 1955 by others from Robert Aldrich and the Billy Wilder Film "The Seven Year Itch". That same year Saul Bass designed the title sequence for Preminger's "The Man with the Golden Arm" and it caused a sensation. Saul Bass became the leading title designer in Hollywood; the directors Bass worked in this capacity include Alfred Hitchcock ("Vertigo", "North by Northwest", "Psycho"), from 1960 Stanley Kubrick ("Spartacus", "The Shining"), from 1990 for Martin Scorsese ("Good Fellas", "Cape Fear", "The Age of Innocence", "Casino"); and, in 1993 Steven Spielberg: the title sequence for "Schindler's List". Between 1991 and 1996 Saul Bass also designed the posters for the Oscar Awards ceremony. In addition to his work for Hollywood, Saul Bass has created the corporate image of numerous companies, including United Airlines, AT&T, Minolta, Esso, BP, and Continental Airlines, for which he also designed the company logos.

  • En Pos De La Idea Sencilla Pat Kirkham Traducción ANA USEROS
    CBA SAUL BASS 17 Pat Kirkham, profesora de Estudio del Diseño, Artes decorativas y Estudios culturales en Nueva York, desgrana en este artículo las principales claves del trabajo y del éxito de los diseños para el cine de Saul Bass, así como los rasgos más importantes y distintivos de su personal estilo y los motivos por los que, tras casi veinte años de «fundido en negro», como él mismo lo definió, su carrera volvió a revitalizarse. Kirkham pone además de relieve la importantísima figura de su esposa, Elaine Bass, que trabajó con él estrechamente desde los años sesenta, una excelente profesional cuya sensibilidad e intuiciones resultaron decisivas en multitud de trabajos conjuntos, pero que se mantuvo siempre, modesta y discretamente, en un papel secundario. en pos de la idea sencilla Pat KirKham TRADUCCIóN AnA USEROS La obra de Saul Bass abanderó una revolución en el diseño de los títulos y de las secuencias de títulos de crédito cinematográficas. Es el diseñador más famoso de estas secuencias de la historia de Hollywood y dejó su sello y su estilo característico en el comienzo de las películas (así como en carteles, dossieres de prensa y logotipos) durante más o menos una docena de años desde 1954, año en el que animó el símbolo publicitario que había creado para Carmen Jones, de Otto Preminger. Bass, que trabaja junto con su esposa, Elaine, y que ha vuelto hace poco a diseñar secuencias de títulos de crédito, no sólo aportó la unidad visual a la publicidad y cartelería de una película, sino que alteró radicalmente el papel asignado al diseño del título y de los títulos de crédito de una película, convirtiéndolos en parte integral de la misma y empleándolos para establecer el tono y buscar el compromiso del público desde los fotogramas iniciales.

  • Saul Bass Danny Yount
    Ethan Pollard! Production Methods! Professor Meranda! !2/20/2014! SAUL BASS! ! Saul Bass is one of the most influential designers of history, with work that is readily recognized and celebrated by many people on a daily basis, designers and non- designers alike. Bass was born in the Bronx, NY, in 1920. In 1936 he was awarded a scholarship to the Art Students’ League in Manhattan, where he studied design. He moved to Los Angeles in 1946 to work as an art director at an advertising firm, and in !1952, opened his own studio, Saul Bass & Associates.! Bass was incredibly prolific in his output, and is responsible for the designs of many of well-known logos, including United Airlines, Quaker Oats, AT&T, and the Girl Scouts. What he is most well-known for, however, is his work in film title design. In 1954 he made his first foray into this field with Otto Preminger’s Carmen. It was a year later, however, that his career in film titles bean to really take off. In 1955 he created the opening titles for Preminger’s The Man With the Golden Arm, starring Frank Sinatra as a jazz musician struggling with a heroin addiction. Bass’s titles feature a graphic, cutout- style image of an arm—an iconic image of drug addiction—and caused a sensation !upon the film’s release.! Until this point, film titles had always been a fairly dull necessity, often barely linked to the film they were preceding. Saul Bass changed all of that, making the film titles a preface for the film itself, using his incredible ability to distill the entire story to one iconic image.

Mit der vielfältigen Formensprache im Vorspann entstehen unterschiedliche Funktionen für die Filmrezeption, die ich exemplarisch an neun ausgewählten Werken von Saul Bass untersuche. Der Grafikdesigner und Regisseur leistete ab den 50er-Jahren einen bemerkenswerten Beitrag zur Entwicklung des Vorspanns. Er trug dazu bei, dass Filmtiteldesign als integraler Bestandteil der Filmstruktur aufgefasst wird.

  • In His Work, Bass Did Not Just Create Doodles That Became Logos. He
    Saul BASS In his work, Bass did not just create doodles that became logos. He worked to understand the culture both current and desired, as well as the essence and objective of a company's competitive strategy and its brands. In many cases, such as after a merger or takeover, the new corporate identity was an opportunity to establish a new sense of shared identity that might lessen or avoid political in-fighting or lack of direction. He did not just think of corporate identity as a logo that goes on a letterhead, the sides of trucks, on product packaging and on uniforms and stickers This would be entirely missing the point, or more accurately, missing an opportunity to rigorously analyse and think about what the company stands for and what it needs to mean to employees and customers. He had a specific and strict process of analysis that is a perfect illustration of how designers must blend the left and right brains as they develop the best solution. Read his own words - CLICK HERE Almost as soon as movies started, it was well known that the best way to lure your audience into cinemas was to use the faces of your leading cast in the middle of your advertising (e.g Casablanca). The bigger the star, the more the appeal. So it must have taken a brave boardroom decision for the producers of the 1955 film The Man with the Golden Arm to approve Saul Bass’ revolutionary poster for the film. Bass had pushed aside images of Frank Sinatra and Eleanor Parker in favour of a grotesquely bent arm reaching boldly through a higgledy-piggledy font in which the title appeared.
