Product Description

Just as film, art, music, and literature have the power to move people, Stefan Sagmeister's innovative work shows that graphic design can also cut to the emotional core. Stefan's desire is to transform stale thinking and "Sagmeister: Made You Look" will do just that. Fully illustrated, with a red PVC slipcase, this monograph covers twenty years of his graphic design and features images from the studio archive as well as specific influences and reference points for his projects and ideas.

Jump in
Jump into Sagmeister's brain and you will come out feeling refreshed with possibility. Full of wonderful, inventive, anarchic, executed ideas. Makes you realise that creativity can overflow across the barriers that we all tend to get pigeoned holed by. Yes it's another self indulgent graphic design book. But one that will stay with you forever. People with ideas like this are timeless.

Excellent
Excellent overview of the design work of Stephen Sagmeister. I am a huge fan of his work and in my opinion this book definitely does him justice. The book is very well designed and the cover's changing image design is beautiful. If you are a fan of his work, or want a good introduction to his graphics work this book is perfect.
