The Sagmeister


Abduzeedo is a graphic design site made to inspire and tutor, showcasing artists and their amazing work.
They recently featured Stefan Sagmiester.
Here is the interview.
For those who don't know, he is a Austrian designer working in New York City whose work gets attention worldwide. He's done projects for clients like Adobe, the Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, Aerosmith etc. Sagmeister got awarded with the Lucky Strike Award 2009 which made him $50,000 richer. And, he got nominated for the Grammy because of his awesome CD cover designs four times and got awarded once, for the cover of the Talking Heads album "Once In A Lifetime" in 2005. Since 1993 Sagmeister runs a small design studio in New York City.

A good line from the interview, in my opinion:

"I think we are responsible for anything we do, walking down the street, climbing a mountain and selling a product. We can do all three in a wonderful, sweet and elegant fashion, or we can fuck it up. It’s all up to us."
