Sagmeister: Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far
Astonishingly, Stefan Sagmeister has only learned twenty or so things in his life so far.
But he did manage to publish these personal maxims all over the world, in spaces normally
occupies by advertisements and promotions: as billboards, projections, light-boxes, magazine
spreads, annual report covers, fashion brochures, and, recently, as giant inflatable monkeys.
In this presentation Sagmeister throws his diary, a lot of design, and a little art together
with a pinch of psychology and a dash of happiness into a blender and pushes the button.
It tastes surprisingly yummy.
