Three things:

 

1. You need to use the <apex:pagemessages /> tag near the top of your page so that errors are displayed.

2. You probably don't want to use required="true" because the error message that is returned is not configurable. If you add your own custom save() method, you can return a good error message using these techniques:

3. If you don't use the required="true" attribute, you can use this technique to set up the red bar to indicate a required field:
