Stefan Sagmeister
Tuesday, March 4 / Doors 6:30pm, Lecture 7:00pm
Kane Hall / University of Washington
Parking Info
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.

BYDESIGN 08
Presented by Northwest Film Forum and AIGA-Seattle
This special annual series explores the intersection of graphic design and moving image, and celebrates multidisciplinary artists who push at the boundaries to create new techniques, styles and forms. The eighth annual BYDESIGN program features short films, installations and performances by digital artists including Light Surgeons, Graham Wood, Semiconductor and Impactist; classic films by such pioneer designer/directors as Saul Bass, Charles and Ray Eames, Norman McLaren and Frank Mouris: a panel discussion with motion graphics designers from Digital Kitchen, SuperFad, Lustre and World Famous Inc.; a history of the evolution of computer animation with computer graphics pioneer and Pixar co-founder Alvy Ray Smith; and a feature documentary celebrating the ubiquitous Swiss typeface Helvetica and exploring the effects of type on our visual culture and daily lives. ByDesign explores the fertile hub between artistic, experimental, and commercial media and champions innovations that integrate design, art and cinema.
