Graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister may be most famous for creating this poster for an appearance at Cranbrook by carving the text into his torso with a razor. I haven’t seen the Meredith poster but hopefully he’s come up with something sweet for those Meredith girls. Sorry to mix the bloody visual image with the food/blender wackiness of the press release.
AIGA Raleigh is proud to present design icon Stefan Sagmeister, live at Meredith College, on his national tour to support his new book, Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far. Astonishingly, Stefan has only learned twenty or so things in his life so far. But he did manage to publish these maxims all over the world: as billboards, projections, lightboxes, magazine spreads, annual report covers, fashion brochures, and, recently, as giant inflatable monkeys. In this presentation, Sagmeister mixes 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.
Saturday, April 19th
Program: 5 - 7pm

Awesome! Of course I have a conflict…..
Everyone should watch the documentary “Helvetica”. Sagmeister features prominently in the discussion about the origins of the font and its role, past and present, in graphic design.
or watch the hillmancurtis series…the new one especially:
