Read about Graphic Designer Saul Bass

Saul Bass ( May 8, 1920 – April 25, 1996) was an American graphic designer and Oscar-winning filmmaker, best known for his design of motion-picture title sequences, film posters, and corporate logos.
During his 40-year career, Bass worked for some of Hollywood's most prominent filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. Among his most famous title sequences are the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm for Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm, the credits racing up and down what eventually becomes a high-angle shot of a skyscraper in Hitchcock's North by Northwest, and the disjointed text that races together and apart in Psycho.
Bass designed some of the most iconic corporate logos in North America, including the Bell System logo in 1969, as well as AT&T's globe logo in 1983 after the breakup of the Bell System. He also designed Continental Airlines' 1968 jet stream logo and United Airlines' 1974 tulip logo, which became some of the most recognized airline industry logos of the era. He died from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in Los Angeles on April 25, 1996, at the age of 75.

Answer the questions  

1.  When was Saul Bass  born and when did he die?

 2. What did he do in addition to being a logo and poster designer?

3.  Name two famous logos designed by Saul Bass.

4. How, when and where did Saul Bass die and how old was he?

Monday 3/30
Greetings:
I hope things get better soon.  We will have online school until things improve.  I know most of you do not have Photo-shop and other things we have at school so we will keep it simple but there are still some things to do.  Expect the following:

Two activities per week: an activity on Monday(DUE TUESDAY) and an activity on Wednesday(DUE THURSDAY) both turned in to your Google drive Spring folder. 

The work will be a combination of writing and taking pictures with a phone-camera. You may turn in the work any way you know how so long as it goes in the shared Spring Folder.

Example: "I did the written work on paper. How can I turn it in?"  Answer: It's Okay to take a picture of the written work with your phone and turn it in that way so long as it ends up in your Spring folder.

If for some crazy reason you did not set up and share a folder then it goes like this:
In your Google drive make a folder  last-first-1,3,5,8(that's the period you are in)-Spring
and share it with inboxroom83@gmail.com

WE WILL FOCUS ON ART THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY AND CAREERS RELATED TO MULTIMEDIA.

Here is the first activity:

1. Take a picture with your phone. It can be anything this first time but try to make it reflect something going on in your life. Example: Maybe you are tired of being stuck at home with your brothers and sisters. So take a picture of your brothers and sisters - something like that. Most of all just let me know you received this assignment and you are ready to work.

2. Here is the written part of the assignment: Give me just one word - How are you doing? Example: Good, Bad, Happy, Sad, Bored, Hungry, Angry, Glad or you can pick the word. Turn it in to your folder with the pic.

Here is my pic:
My secret beehive
and here is my word: Optimistic

 
Okay, look for your next assignment on Wednesday.  Assignments will be posted on Infinite Campus and Techart.city.

KEEP A POSITIVE OUTLOOK AND WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN :)

Do some activities with the magic wand to build on what we did last class.  You know that you can use the magic wand to trace objects and "steal" works of art from Google clip art collections.  Now take it further and do the following.

1. Change the art by tracing and re-coloring  parts of a drawing:  First copy the example and then be creative, select your own images and do something similar. (Now you have completed two drawings)

Example:  I'm going to use the same bug from the other day.  I will use the magic wand to selct just the face and the hearts to make a boarder across the bottom of my page ( I use the magic wand to select the part I want and then I cut and paste to my new 8.5 x 11 page)  Try it. It will look like this :




2.  Recombine parts to make something new. Use the magic wand to select the different parts.
Here is an example:

Select these parts with the wand
To make this:





Now you try it.  First copy the example and then use different images to create your own.  Do anything you like but follow the rule that you will practice with the Magic Wand to do it.  (Now you have four finished drawings)

Put all four drawings in your last-first-drawing folder on your Goog drive.

If you finish early, mess around with the magic wand tool, recombine images to make a new image.  Challenge yourself.  try to do something more difficult.

1 Write.  

Read the information and answer the following questions:
  1. What did Philip Morris use in cigarettes and why?  
  2. How did other tobacco companies respond?
  3. What was tobacco being compared to that threatened the company?
  4. Was the tobacco industry honest with the public? What is your opinion about their responsibility to the public?  Is a cover-up OK? Not OK?


READ
Philip Morris and other tobacco companies have been using ammonia in their manufacturing for more than half a century, and for a variety of purposes: to highlight certain flavors, to expand or “puff up” the volume of tobacco, to prepare reconstituted tobacco sheet (“recon”), to denicotinize (reduce the amount of nicotine in) tobacco, and to remove carcinogens.
By the early 1960s, however, Philip Morris had also begun using ammonia to “freebase” the nicotine in cigarette smoke, creating low-yield (reduced-tar or -nicotine) cigarettes that still had the nicotine kick necessary to keep customers “satisfied” (i.e., addicted). We show that Philip Morris discovered the virtues of freebasing while analyzing the impact of the ammoniated recon used in Marlboro cigarettes.
We also show how Marlboro’s commercial success catalyzed efforts by the rest of the tobacco industry to discover its “secret,” eventually identified as ammonia technology, and how Philip Morris later exploited the myriad uses of ammonia (e.g., for flavoring and expanding tobacco volume) to defend itself against charges of manipulating the nicotine deliveries of its cigarettes.

CRACK NICOTINE?

In the mid-1990s, FDA Commissioner Kessler was using the tobacco companies’ recently discovered manipulation of nicotine to argue for the regulation of tobacco. The industry knew that any admission of using ammonia to increase the availability of nicotine would be an admission that nicotine is the addictive sine qua non of smoking, and tobacco manufacturers did not want to have cigarettes compared to crack cocaine. (According to Farone, the industry made a conscious effort in the 1980s and 1990s to avoid the term freebasing in any documents or statements because it didn’t want to be associated with cocaine.) With so much at stake, it is not surprising that the industry attempted to cover up its use of ammonia as a freebasing reagent.
It is important to keep in mind that the ammonia cover-up is only one of dozens of similar cover-ups, part of the industry’s calculated disregard for human health. The industry has tried to efface the truth in depositions and even in internal documents, but the facts are clear: Philip Morris by the early 1960s had realized ammonia’s ability to augment the potency of nicotine and then used this knowledge to develop cigarettes that were nominally low in tar and nicotine while still having a powerful nicotine kick. Sales of Philip Morris products skyrocketed as a result, spiking the company to the top of the market charts. And the other manufacturers took notice: RJ Reynolds, American Tobacco, Brown and Williamson, Liggett, and Lorillard all worked hard to figure out Marlboro’s secret and by the 1970s and 1980s had developed their own versions of ammonia technology, which all but Liggett implemented commercially.




Friday 11/8, Tuesday 11/12
1 Write.  

Read the information and answer the following questions:
  1. What did Philip Morris use in cigarettes and why?  
  2. How did other tobacco companies respond?
  3. What was tobacco being compared to that threatened the company?
  4. Was the tobacco industry honest with the public? What is your opinion about their responsibility to the public?  Is a cover-up OK? Not OK?


READ
Philip Morris and other tobacco companies have been using ammonia in their manufacturing for more than half a century, and for a variety of purposes: to highlight certain flavors, to expand or “puff up” the volume of tobacco, to prepare reconstituted tobacco sheet (“recon”), to denicotinize (reduce the amount of nicotine in) tobacco, and to remove carcinogens.
By the early 1960s, however, Philip Morris had also begun using ammonia to “freebase” the nicotine in cigarette smoke, creating low-yield (reduced-tar or -nicotine) cigarettes that still had the nicotine kick necessary to keep customers “satisfied” (i.e., addicted). We show that Philip Morris discovered the virtues of freebasing while analyzing the impact of the ammoniated recon used in Marlboro cigarettes.
We also show how Marlboro’s commercial success catalyzed efforts by the rest of the tobacco industry to discover its “secret,” eventually identified as ammonia technology, and how Philip Morris later exploited the myriad uses of ammonia (e.g., for flavoring and expanding tobacco volume) to defend itself against charges of manipulating the nicotine deliveries of its cigarettes.

CRACK NICOTINE?

In the mid-1990s, FDA Commissioner Kessler was using the tobacco companies’ recently discovered manipulation of nicotine to argue for the regulation of tobacco. The industry knew that any admission of using ammonia to increase the availability of nicotine would be an admission that nicotine is the addictive sine qua non of smoking, and tobacco manufacturers did not want to have cigarettes compared to crack cocaine. (According to Farone, the industry made a conscious effort in the 1980s and 1990s to avoid the term freebasing in any documents or statements because it didn’t want to be associated with cocaine.) With so much at stake, it is not surprising that the industry attempted to cover up its use of ammonia as a freebasing reagent.
It is important to keep in mind that the ammonia cover-up is only one of dozens of similar cover-ups, part of the industry’s calculated disregard for human health. The industry has tried to efface the truth in depositions and even in internal documents, but the facts are clear: Philip Morris by the early 1960s had realized ammonia’s ability to augment the potency of nicotine and then used this knowledge to develop cigarettes that were nominally low in tar and nicotine while still having a powerful nicotine kick. Sales of Philip Morris products skyrocketed as a result, spiking the company to the top of the market charts. And the other manufacturers took notice: RJ Reynolds, American Tobacco, Brown and Williamson, Liggett, and Lorillard all worked hard to figure out Marlboro’s secret and by the 1970s and 1980s had developed their own versions of ammonia technology, which all but Liggett implemented commercially.
