Title design is often overlooked when thinking critically about film, but almost no one handled titles more gracefully than Saul Bass. His use of color, shape, and symbolism evoke aspects of American pop-art and Soviet propaganda posters. Instead of featuring movie-star beauty shots, Bass’s posters intellectualize the film, whittling down the entire premise into one visual metaphor. Credits include:
The Age of Innocence (1992),
Cape Fear (1991),
Goodfellas (1989),
Big (1987),
The Victors (1963),
