Issue 02 — Art Movement Swap
Saul Bass's 1958 Vertigo poster is already a masterpiece of graphic reduction — a swirling vortex, a falling figure, and two colors. Now imagine it transported to the Bauhaus workshops of 1920s Dessau, where Herbert Bayer and Joost Schmidt were reinventing visual language through geometry, grid, and systematic typography.
The spiral becomes a rotating field of concentric squares. The silhouette becomes pure geometric form — circle, rectangle, line. The vivid red is still there, but now it's a Bauhaus primary, disciplined within an asymmetric grid. The chaos of falling is reframed as order collapsing inward.
Image 1 — Reimagined: Vertigo as a Bauhaus exhibition poster (1920s–30s). Dark charcoal base, Bauhaus red and yellow accent palette, condensed geometric grotesque type, diagonal grid-spiral motif.
Image 2 — Original: Saul Bass's canonical 1958 design. Vermillion red field, white concentric vortex, black falling figure, bold top type and italic title at center.
Film: Vertigo (1958). Director: Alfred Hitchcock. Poster design: Saul Bass. Genre: Psychological thriller.
Series rotation: Issue 01 — Decade Swap (Metropolis → Synthwave). Issue 02 — Art Movement (Vertigo → Bauhaus). Issue 03 — Genre Swap (coming next).
