We looked at the graphic designer Saul bass who had created title sequences for films.

Saul bass studied design and the art students league in manhattan, he took up apprenticeships with firms in design and also done freelance work. His work was generally posters which used simple shapes that had symbolic meaning this is usually one image that stands out.

After creating a poster for a film director named Otto Preminger, he was invited to make the title sequence for the film. This was Saul bass's big break and this lead him to create title sequences for many other films such as 'Goodfellas', 'Cape fear', 'psycho' by Alfred Hitchcock and more.
