Saul Bass's design for the 1958 thriller/mystery by Alfred Hitchcock, which features a spiral motif representing the film's theme of disorientation, captures the essence of the movie in a single striking image. The minimalist design and dynamic composition creates a sense of tension and intrigue, drawing viewers into the mysterious world of the film. The limited color palette creates an image that is not only visually impactful, but memorable as well. Bass' "Vertigo" poster illustrates the power of graphic design to communicate complex ideas and emotions whilst utilizing a minimalist design, setting a standard for film poster design that continues to inspire designers to this day.
