Summary: 5 Stars
the things he has learned are things that I have learned and am still learning.Book Review: Great designs and interesting format
Summary: 4 Stars
This isn't a book, but a series of mini books in a cool package.
Design - dozen or so mini books, the outside is cut to show the textures on the cover of each through the holes. Each one of the covers are really cool an visually interesting.
Books - The mini books each have a typographical experiment in them and usually a page or two, explaining the sentence his experiments make (sometimes more).
This is not a how to, a our company had this project, or philosophy of book (books?). It is what he did while he took a year off, and did whatever he wanted basically.
Cool for sure, I enjoyed it a lot.
Book Review: Is there more?
Summary: 4 Stars
I had a hard time liking this title because it seemed like it could have been more. Perhaps if I made it to his gallery show I could have felt that I connected to its vision. It is beautifully designed, all there with the big named photographers, artists, illustrators, etc. But I was left wishing that there was more that I could have gotten. It felt like a sidekick companion than the entree.Book Review: Eh...Clever design as one would expect, but overall a bit of a dissheveled collection of pamphlets
Summary: 3 Stars
Stefan Sagmeister is a legend of design and I actually have no regrets with the purchase, but I was disappointed when I received my pre-ordered copy. I opened the box with youthful enthusiasm, removed the outer cover and out spilled numerous booklets. It was not what I was expecting. It was immediately clear that the booklets could be made to interact with the cover box and create a nice tabletop display. It is not a book in the traditional linear fashion, which should come as no surprise; however, it seems like it is trying too hard to be different. You can be the judge as to whether or not it succeeded. Designers will enjoy it and it is a pretty neat little book - it will look cool on your desk and cover swapping can give you something to do when you need a break.
