SAUL BASS - VERTIGO OPENING CREDITS
Our last chapters were about Saul Bass and all of his creations.
This is by far one of my favorites pieces of his in the link of the video above
you can watch the opening title credits he created. Although simple he conveys the
message that the man is falling with just simple rotating circles and shapes. Also
the meaning of Vertigo (which the main character has) is feeling like your moving
without actual movement which is what this conveys. I think it is a creative abstract way to
convey a message. The type works well with the design only being dominant in the opening
movie title scene. He also incorporate a woman because the man in the movie is obsessed
with a woman and she proves to be mysterious.
