Saul Bass was an American graphic designer and film title sequence designer who worked from the 1950s to 1990s. He designed title sequences for films by Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, and Stanley Kubrick. His style focused on abstract shapes and movement rather than people or events. Some of his most famous title sequences were for The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), North by Northwest (1958), and Psycho (1960). His simplistic yet visually striking designs helped set the tone and genre of films and influenced later title sequences like Catch Me If You Can and Dexter.
