Akkurat

We talked about some great typefaces in class on Wednesday. Be sure to look at Akkurat, Meta, Akzidenz Grotesk, and others!

Psycho

We spoke of Saul Bass' title sequence for the 1960 Psycho in class last week. For those of you who haven't seen it a must see on YouTube. The 1998 Psycho remake uses the same visuals for the title sequence, but decides to do it in color. Gus Van Sant was the director, but it did not fare well with audiences. You can still catch the entire film (before Universal yanks it off) on YouTube also.

Saul Bass Bell System

Vintage video from 1970 that outlines the pitch to Ma Bell on updating their brand and creating a system.
