(Sag)meister of Typography Designs
|
|
Stefan Sagmeister is one of those admirable people, made famous because of two basic things – he knew very early in life what he wanted to do with it, and was talented enough to be one of the best at it. His educational progress would, roughly, go something like this: at the age of 15, decided to be a designer (and started designing); studied at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna; got a Fulbright scholarship – used it to study at the Pratt Institute in New York; worked with others in design studios in Hong Kong and New York; opened his own studio. No time wasted. Since opening Sagmeister Inc., he shelved two Grammys (for album cover designs) and an award from the National Design Museum. Although rewards bare weight, it’s the overall, continuous quality of his designs that now enables him to choose when and for whom to work – and there’s plenty to choose from. Mr. Sagmeister recently turned down an offer to design an electoral campaign poster for the current president of the US. Mr. Sagmeister is known for designing posters, ads, making installations, album covers and more. What stands out as an obvious trademark is the use of typography in designs. Evolved, presumably, from his work with posters, typography designs are an ever-evolving idea of Sagmeister’s, and take central place in many of his personal work. Well, for Mr. “Sag” (German – to say), “meister” (German – “master”) typography is home court. Posters

We found a fingerprint, detective!
You know how a forensic artist can draw/sketch a suspect’s face using information from an interview with the victim? Kevin Van Aelst, in an exercise similar to those of the CSI, replicates, to a very high degree of accuracy, his own

That’s a tasty dress!
Earlier we published an article about fashion accessories made from various foods. Now, with appropriately cooked clothing, we can finally be, fully and tastefully dressed. A crew of 15, led by Ami Goodheart, designed, cooked and assembled the tasty garments.

Seeing how all of the favorite cartoon characters of our childhood are now deceased or living exclusively in Disneyland, replaced by various Pokemon clones on TV, we find this Natural History museum – like setting quite appropriate. “What’s up, Doc?”
