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

—SAUL BASS, graphic design icon

SAUL BASS: “I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.”
