I feel sorry for the 3 project managers that stumbled on this video and gave it a thumb down.

[@theguardian8317]

They were actually some millenial Google or Microsoft UX/UI/Graphic Designers

The Guardian So well said .. and TRUE

[@sharoncardinal]

I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares. love. love. love.

[@OzwheelOswego]

For design students: If you follow the ideas of Mr. Bass, you should also research Bucky Fuller and Mr. John Belt of SUNY Oswego. Great minds for designers to pick

[@Hendrix.]

Couldn't agree more, Quality should always be valued more than quantity.

[@kmj5386]

Thank God! In the instantaneous world, I want to work for a boss like this.

[@peggyburns1702]

This is exactly what I desire in my heart's deepest to do: Create, create things that are BEAUTIFUL and USEFUL to humanity. As a matter of fact, I'm a minimalist and in my life I've incorporated only things that are essential, beautiful and give me joy. I've adorned my walls with my own works of art. Since we are on the subject about making money, I share this quote with you: "A fortune awaits men, women and children who invent even the simplest thing that serves humanity well." May your days on earth be positive, productive and rewarding.

[@archieboston7330]

😂 Thanks for your comments. I am minimalist too. Design has changed but you don't have to. Be happy and be you.

[@eyelikes]

This is the essence of integrity

[@doreenmaddox1]

It is so great to hear it said by a REAL designer! Thank you for posting.

[@downwiththefoureleven8524]

it's basically animation, but many the title sequences Bass created did use computers to some extent. That was a new field at the time, with guys like John Whitney and William Fetter coming up with some cool new gizmos to make it happen. Along with the famous title sequences, Bass also designed quite a few iconic company logos. Good stuff.

[@kuya5k]

i have to go and try and find this full interview now lol

[@guymross]

I wish I had seen this video 13 years ago.

[@Moodboard39]

So u never saw it on TV ? Lol

[@brianratigan]

This man is the TRUTH.

[@Moodboard39]

He's not Jesus

[@oltasisaman]

This is the true art passionate answer to the question of money versus quality . İ learned something here that changed me afterwards . Thanks for the upload ..

[@DavidGarcia-vs1we]

[@peqcke]

He says BEAUTY, not quality

[@ChristopherTCalhoun]

[@maxpin17]

my right ear is so lonely

[@DALLASINFOPOST]

brilliant!

[@j-zymarz]

Great! it's quite true..

[@akrokdesign]

so great. :-)

[@EnergeticWaves]

Wasn't this the guy that made the donuts in the Dunkin Donuts ads years ago?

[@pukoh1523]

if you don't care what the client thinks, then you are doing art, not design.

[@archieboston7330]

True. Design is an Art. Aesthetics is the common denominator.

[@peteherb]

I WANT THIS DVD!!! Where can I get a region 2 version?! :)

[@alexadikal]

Yo, have you heard of this plan called the Intellitus Cash System? (look for it on google). My sister says it makes people plenty of cold hard cash.

[@waxmaster-c]

But didn't clients come to Saul Bass for his beautiful work?

[@JRZflicks]

They did. But he's saying it doesn't matter whether they came to him for beautiful work or passable work or mediocre work. He's going to do everything he can to create beautiful work regardless, because it's important to him personally.

[@thedudedylan]

what if clients do not want the beautiful thing you have made?

[@DexterHaven]

This was Steve Jobs' philosophy.

[@fullboxxskater]

How did he make his movie intros without computers?

[@robopecha]

paper.

[@Moodboard39]

Paper dummy

[@Teh1337H4x0rz111]

One client didn't liked this.

[@pricklyphlox]

:)

[@darkknightwithanidea1845]

He said the phrase that is GONE in today’s working perspective - ‘ & I’m willing to pay for that’ - he says. NO ONE has that kind of courage & commitment today in their art or craft. They’re all cowards who focus on their 401 K & health benefits with a view to Sat & Sunday in front of a Netflix show &. Beer. BORING!!!

[@blackroan2276]

No one? I do! Quality is number ONE, always.

[@chrislee176]

I can hardly hear what he says over how he looks.

[@torikulism]

Hi! Have you thought about the Intellitus Cash System (do a google search)? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work buddy made a ton of money.

[@tortera]

Love it. Just brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
