Sagmeister: Life So Far

I am a HUGE fan of Stefan Sagmeister's, the more I read his books and interviews with him, the more that feeling is amplified. Stefan's approach to design, running a small studio and our industry in general, is a great influence of mine. Our friends over at Behance sat down with the 'master on remaining small, taking a human approach, and life lessons', you can read the whole interview here.

AND, (and this is a huge and super awesome "and") Stefan Sagmeister will be speaking here in Buffalo on July 16, during TypeCon2008, and Hero was asked to do the official poster for the event, so keep an eye out for it next week around town, and we will have copies available on our website after the event. Get your tickets here. Definitely go over to Sameister Inc. as well.

I am more excited about seeing Sagmeister live, than any band I have seen in the last 5 years!!

Stefan Sagmeister, Things I have learned in my life so far

All I can say is "WOW" a much watch!!



A while back I posted about Stefan Sagmeister's project called, "Things I have learned in my life so far", this truly inspiring glimpse into this project is simple, beautiful, and poetic. This project grew from a list in Stefan's diary during a year long commercial hiatus. He returned to paid work with greater freedom from clients and himself, and created a series of projects spelling out personal truths--"worrying solves nothing," "trying to look good limits my life," and other simple, meaningful statements.

Watch this and buy the book (I just ordered it now).

Things I have learned in my life so far

Created by Stefan Sagmeister, this amazing blog was spawned from a list, under the same title, that Stefan created in his own personal diary, and he now extends this question to you:

"What have you learned in your life so far? What is it that you are fairly sure about? What is it that you believe in by now?
Please do write it down beautifully. Design it digitally, photograph it, draw it, scan it and upload it. Use any media that works for you, paint, sculpture, film…."

It is an awesome collection of all kinds of typography treatments along with some truly amazing thoughts and insights from people all around the world. Check it out here www.thingsihavelearnedinmylife.com
