Final Postcard

Here is the final design for my postcard for Saul Bass. 

Saul Bass is known for his use of type and simplistic design. I wanted to create a postcard that was simple with integrated details from various movie posters that he designed in the past. 

I began by researching movie posters, and picked out some of my favorite elements from several posters. I liked certain fonts, drawings and shapes from different posters. I noticed that Saul Bass' posters all had the same qualities in each movie poster, such as use of squares, reds/oranges, and misshaped letters. 

I printed out my favorite movie posters and traced my favorite elements. After I scanned my tracings, I edited the images in photoshop. I cut and pasted the images into a new composition of an old body with a new hand, along with SAUL BASS written across the body. This became the front of my postcard. 

For the back of the postcard, I integrated little squares into the background in tribute to Saul Bass, and used the same letters that I used in the front for his title name.
