Saul Bass
He was an American graphic designer and film maker but is best known for his design on animated motion picture title sequences.During his 40year career he worked for some of Hollywood's greatest film makers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Otto preminger, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scoresse. He designed title sequences for 40 years, for films such as Sparticus 1960, The Victors 1963, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad world 1963, and Casino in 1995.

We looked at one of his best title sequences from 'Rear window' we think they are simple and effective and the writing is bold and standout against the background but the colours remain in keeping with the colour scheme of the background.And throughout the title sequence the blinds are slowly wound up to reveal an establishing shot of the scene in which the film is set. We found this a highly unique way of setting the scene of a film.
