| Poster design for Alfred Hitchcock's film Vertigo |
If you're reading this on Wednesday, go to
Google.com to check out their latest "doodle". It's an homage to the great designer/illustrator Saul Bass, one of my personal heroes.
If you missed it, have no fear –
the internet has it available.

Beware, if you are doing some image searches for his work, there are many "homages" to Bass, where posters are created in an approximation of his style. Since he died in 1996, for instance, you can bet that he didn't design a poster for
The Hunger Games or
Burn After Reading. However, he also did not design
Star Wars (which came out in 1977) posters, either. Do your homework before assuming it's a Bass original, my dears!
