Stefan Sagmeister
AIGA Seattle Presents
Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far
Tuesday, March 4 6:30pm Doors Open 7pm Lecture
Kane Hall / University of Washington
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 occupies 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.
This book began as a list Stefan made in his diary under the title Things I have learned in my life so far, which includes statements such as "Worrying solves nothing" and "Trying to look good limits my life." The list reveals something that is profoundly true: Although human beings have been pursuing happiness for countless generations, it is not so easily achieved. And we need constant reminders to keep us on the right path.
The book will be available at the event for $40 and Stefan will signing the books following the lecture.

Like usual, I agree with Khoi Vinh. His work is good and all but I can't help but think 'how does he get away with it'?
