Saul Bass was born on May 8 1920 and died April 25, 1996.
Saul was an American graphic designer and Academy Award-winning filmmaker, however he is best known for his design on animated motion picture title sequences. He worked for some of Hollywood's greatest filmmakers for roughly 40 years, of which included Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. His most famous title sequences are the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm for Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm, the text racing up and down what eventually becomes a high-angle shot of the United Nations building in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest, and the disjointed text that raced together and was pulled apart for Psycho (1960).
