Title Sequence Research

As a class, we were told to look into research of many types of title sequence designers. This will enable us to gather more of an understanding of how creative designers can alter their production depending on each genre. For example, Saul Bass has approached many genre of films but still keep his iconic style prominent.
Saul Bass:

With Saul bass, he uses a lot of simplistic and abstract lines that aid him in conveying his story line; paying close attention to the genre. Not With My Wife, You Don't! is a comedic drama so his approach for the title sequence isn't very serious, mostly hinting that the imperfect fonts and sporadic lines connote the type of story that's approaching; Not With My Wife You Don't! immediately suggests there's conflict which, again, is suggested through the red on the commanding sentence, "You Don't" the red emphasises danger etc.

 Karin Fong:
Karin Fong is a more modernised graphic designer, I looked at her because she has done title sequences for dramas which is the genre I wish to do. However, she also has influence from Saul Bass which is key to realise that many present designers still look back for a foundation for their recent work, especially with "Pink Panther". She doesn't take work far too seriously, Fong lets her creative imagination have no boundaries which is evident in her title sequences for adaptation of, "Rubicon".
