Stefan Sagmeister

Stefan Sagmeister was born on the 6th August 1962 in Austria. His work as a graphic designer and typographer is based in New York.

Stefan pours his heart and soul into every piece of work with his eye-catching album covers for the Rolling Stones and Lou Reed. His work is of the moment and timeless, with his crazy attention to the smallest details makes his work something new every time you look at it.

There is a sense of humour on the surfaces of his designs but Stefan is very serious about his work. 'his intimate approach and sincere thoughtfulness elevate his design.'

His style is striking and humorous but in such an unsettling way that could be seen as unacceptable. He uses his strength and ability to come up with original and stunning ideas.

Stefan says that the process to his designs is if it helps people or delights them its a good design and it works!

I think Stefan's designs are interesting but very strange. If he would go to the extent of carving his own body, he must love his work and puts everything he can into it.
