I am so inspired by Saul Bass's work. From corporate logos and film design to picture books and graphic work, his style permeates American design culture. I particularly love his use of typography and image.
This beautiful book designed by his daughter, Jennifer Bass, provides an in depth account of all of Saul Bass's work. The book was rich in detail, and I found the notes at the end describing his very personal creative process particul...more

Saul Bass made me love opening titles, and he's probably responsible for the fact that I always sit through the end credits of a film. I can't wait to read this book!
Чудова ознайомча книга виняткового дизайнерського та поліграфічного рівня, якій трохи бракує деталізації ілюстративного матеріялу.

Wonderful. Giant. Still working my way through it. Love Saul Bass-style.
Comprehensive. Gorgeous.
Such a great overview of his life's work. Beautiful full-color spreads of his film title sequences, corporate identity campaigns and short films. Only downside is it's a giant coffee table book - not ideal for subway reading :)
This one is monolythic piece of work by all time favorite designer. The detail, the presentation, the thoughts and intimacies of this book are astounding and worth the mighty name of it's main hero. A must for anyone to deal with design.
You know how sometimes you see people who are so preternaturally gifted that it stifles you into inaction? Yeah.
