Designed by Saul Bass, who is considered the father of American graphic design. He was a legendary American graphic designer and filmmaker known for revolutionising film title sequences, logos, and posters. He worked with some of the greatest directors, including Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, and Martin Scorsese, and is famous for his minimalist, highly symbolic, and modernist approach to design. His work often used bold colors, striking typography, and simple geometric shapes to convey deep meaning.
Saul Bass’s poster for Vertigo is considered one of the most iconic film posters ever created.
Instead of a traditional Hollywood-style poster featuring the actors, Saul Bass used abstract, swirling shapes to visually represent the film’s core theme—obsession and psychological instability. The swirling spiral design mirrors the film's exploration of vertigo, fear, and the loss of control.
Today, Saul Bass’s Vertigo poster is still studied in design schools and celebrated as a masterpiece of visual storytelling. It perfectly captures the film’s haunting, hypnotic nature and remains one of the most memorable and influential movie posters ever created.
