I love this photo of Hitchcock. It catches the gleam in his eye.

It was fun to walk down memory lane and to realize that many of those memories were created in part by a fantastic graphic designer, Mike Salisbury. That is the whole point of branding and the association in a person's mind. Does it help anchor the product, movie, or experience? Does it bring back that first memory? He truely is the master.
