Book Reviews of Things I have learned in my life so farBook Review: A must have for the love of Design Summary: 5 Stars
This is no ordinary book, it is in and of itself a little piece of art! I bought this book in anticipation of an upcoming lecture from Stefan Sagmeister. Reading through the first time, I loved the sincerity of each part of the book. It's such a heartfelt, personal journey through this massive project. Reading through a second, third, fourth and so on, I get details I missed the first time around. After having heard Stefan speak for the first time, the book was brought to life like never before. I will treasure this publication, as it rightfully earns a spot on my bookshelf of design greats. I cannot wait to see what Stefan has in store for us in the future!
Book Review: Sagmeister changed my life so far! Summary: 5 Stars
Definitely my Bible, a book that will be on my desk for a looooong time! Sagmeister changed my life since I found him. His books, presentations, designs, words, interviews... It's pure Life! Inspiring, Fresh, Emotional, breaking rules over and over. So YES, "Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far" is more than a book: it's a celebration of creativity.
I cannot imagine my life without this book. It doesn't matter if you are a graphic designer or not: get it! Oh, and don't forget to join the amazing website that follows the book...
Thanks Stefan for being yourself!
Book Review: I love this book(s) Summary: 5 Stars
What a great surprise to find several books encased together - each filled with a visual representations of one of Stefan's lessons in life. Each lesson is uniquely made, from billboards, to snails, to sugar, his quotes are composed typographically in the most unexpected ways. The book covers for each lesson make an interesting look for his face when interchanged with the die cut cover. If you are a fan, you will look at these books over and over and wonder how he thought of some of these. Some will make you laugh and some might gross you out, but each are completely interesting.
Book Review: Inspirational and delightful Summary: 5 Stars
Sagmeister's work refuses to just sit there and be looked at - this is way beyond just design: it compels you to become a part of it. Every image is a revelation - and demands detailed study. This book has stories too - little tales and observations about Stefan's life that are not only moving, but forced me to think of my own life and what I have learned along the way. And all along I am swapping out the booklets and changing the image seen through the cover - first Stefan is a flower garden - then he's a monkey - it's all in there. Amazing.
Book Review: Truly Inspirational Summary: 5 Stars
Sagmeister is amazing! I just saw him do a lecture on this book in Columbia. It brought so much life to the work hearing his personal experiences. This book is so fun and interactive it embodies the spirit of his work perfectly. It is a box with a die-cut out of his face on the cover. Inside are 10-15 smaller booklets each covering one of his many projects. As you switch the order of the books in the box it shows through the holes in the cover changing the design. It's really cool...I am so excited to add it to my collection.
