Sagmeister

Many consider, Austrian born, New York-based, Stefan Sagmeister to be our most important living graphic designer, but he reaches well beyond design while sharing 20 Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far, including the fact that keeping a diary supports personal development. This book grew from a list in his 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, like "worrying solves nothing," "trying to look good limits my life," and other simple, meaningful statements. All are presented visually along with personal anecdotes supporting his assertions and notes on: a box of 15 booklets with unique covers that can be switched to transform the look of the case from creepy to beautiful.
