LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON
I like the use of primary colors in the central text of the poster. The use of mainstay colors like red, yellow, and blue on a black background is something that is obvious to the mind, but it's mostly avoided in fear of being too obvious. The composition of the pull-blind and drawstring is effective matted in a creme backdrop as well.
IN HARM'S WAY
The repetition of symbolism in the big pointing hand and the small pointing hand is a smart and effective way to make the poster memorable. The whole post has a directionality to it. The cool, blue tones are always welcome to the eye, and once again the matte effect is employed by Saul Bass effortlessly.
THE BIRDS
Like most Saul Bass designs, the use of color, line, contrast, and shape is simple yet extremely effective. The bold use of orange is a Bass signature move. The title of the movie is framed within the very central window of the feather, and the poster itself has a very tall and firm standing due to the "spine" of the feather.
