“Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”

SAUL BASS
May 8 1920 - April 25 1996To commemorate the life and work of legendary designer Saul Bass, today’s Google Doodle video draws inspiration from the graphic artists’ work in film.
Bass designed posters and opening sequences for many classic Alfred Hitchcock films including Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959)and Psycho (1960), as well as for films such as The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), The Shining (1980), Anatomy of Murder (1959) and Goodfellas (1990).
His iconic, eye-catching work still influences designers today (Hello! Mad Men opening titles!) and continues to captivate modern audiences experiencing his highly original work for the first time.
