Saul Bass Style Star Wars Opening Scene

I chose Saul Bass style opening scene as it has all the main components to make it a good example of the Saul Bass style, its simplistic, has hand drawn fonts and contrasting colours.

One of the main things you notice about this title sequence is the fact that all of the objects are made of simple shapes such as squares and circles. But despite that fact, you can still tell what the shapes are meant to represent. This is one of the most important things when creating Saul Bass style work, making it as simple as possible while still trying to make it understandable.

One of the Main things that defined Saul Bass was his hand drawn fonts, it added to the theme of simplicity in his work, but also made it unique. It worked so effectively that everyone who has successfully created Saul Bass style since has also used hand made fonts in their work, including the creator of this title sequence, which is one of the reasons that makes it good.

This opening sequence also uses a lot of contrasting colours such as bright colours on black. this works very well because it makes the simplicity of Saul Bass style more interesting.
