‘The experts’ - Stefan Sagmeister

My favourite expert is Stefan Sagmeister, he is a contemporary practitioner working across several medias. Firstly I feel that his ability to work across medias and produce his visuals is what makes his work so powerful, enabling him to produce variety as well and amazing, captivating imagery for us to look at.
His work is captivating to see yet the thought processes is even more intriguing. As his concepts are all very close to life it makes us think about how he done it and what he was thinking about when he created it and thought of it. His images are very explicit and shout to the viewers. He makes us observe different ways of visualising through an extraordinary use of media.
He also ranges his work through graphic design, typography, photography; furniture design etc showing is explosive number of ideas and versatility. He is able to work across platforms, creating very different, bold and inspiring pieces.
Overall I hope one day that I am able to produce and versatile and unique designs as he does; as any designer would be every other designers dream also!
As I have referenced this artist before and find him a strong figure in graphic design I have also been watching some of his presentations. Finding out about his personality and his thought processes which enable him to produce the ideas; create in depth interest into his work. And though this video we can clearly see that his though process is very different to several others and his list making is very inspirational. I recommend people to watch this!!


A collection of his work.
