Name: Maurice Binder
Career highlights: James Bond Title Sequences

Saul Bass who? Just joking of course, Saul Bass was a fantastic designer, and one worth blogging about, one worth studying, but I am a huge fan of Maurice Binder. In the world of title sequences they were both really big names, with Binder starting only a few years after Bass. For those of you who don’t know who Maurice Binder was, I have a name for you. Bond, James Bond. That’s right Binder was the father of the James Bond title sequences. In addition to the sexy silhouettes, he also gave us this:


One of the most famous images in Hollywood. He created this image with a pin hole camera filming down an actual gun barrel. Now that is thinking out side the box. After his first bond film, Dr. No, Binder went on to create 13 more title sequences for the series. If you are really into motion, I highly recommend checking out all the titles sequences, they are examples of fantastic work. But he also did many other movies as well, so check him out!

Name: Joost Korngold
Free lance motion/print designer

Here is a freelance motion/print designer I absolutely love. The work he does is just beautiful. He works mostly in 3D, so he has a very modern, digital age, feel to him. And once again, if you are into motion, check him out. His site is Renascent.nl. (I highly recommend looking at some of his personal work)

So what is so appealing about him to me? He is good, it would be hard to argue other wise, but for me there are a few projects of his that has just really reached from one designer to another, they have really spoken to me. For every designer there is some project, some work somewhere, that just touches them, inspires, creates a spark within them that makes them want to sit down at their desk and create something amazing. For me one of these projects is his personal piece “Deep”. It is by no means his most complicated piece, or technically difficult. It never makes you say “wow” at any one moment (his other work might however) but it is an excellently rounded piece. It’s a piece that blurs the border between art and design.
