----- My Favorite Things Together -----
Saul Bass, graphic design, and Dexter, words I never thought I'd put together but were when I was greeted during lunch with these wonderful tv posters by the award winning graphic designer Ty Mattson. Showtime are selling these on their website. I absolutely love them. It has the Saul Bass style, dark, criminal theme, just like the show. Each poster is dedicated to each season. If you follow Dexter, you will relish in the details.
Now, who may you ask is Saul Bass? Don't worry, I won't kick you in the sensitive areas. He's just THE classic American graphic designer, filmmaker, creator, artist of the visual marvelousness. He's famous for many opening film sequences (Casino, Cape Fear, Goodfellas, etc) and inspired the one for Catch Me If You Can because of his Martin Scorcesse connection (Bass passed away before the film was produced). His other credits include: AT&T logo; Continental Airline 1968 "jetstream" logo; Ott's The Man with the Golden Arm.
