AIGA Presents Designer Stefan Sagmeister March 7, 2008

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 occupied 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.

Stefan Sagmeister is one of the most influential graphic designers in the world working today. Since 1993 Sagmeister Inc., has focused on all things printed, including posters, brochures, books, and graphics and packaging for music clients. Sagmeister’s award-winning work has been recognized in national publications such as The New York Times, Time, Rolling Stone, and Wired. He’s created iconic album covers for Lou Reed, the Talking Heads, and the Rolling Stones. Born in Austria, he now lives in New York City.

We will be selling a limited number of copies of Stefan's latest book, Stefan Sagmeister: Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far. After Stefan's presentation we will host a private book-signing opportunity for individuals attending the event.
