Things I Learned from Stephan Sagmeister




1. No matter what great feats of design one creates, an Austrian accent makes him or her very personable.

2. Clients have a pretty good bull shit detector.

3. Design can be more than sales and promotion.

4. Overcome your fears.

5. Show only one comp to your clients (see #2)

6. Think about designing things from the perspective of other things (eg: design a podium from the perspective of a converse shoe).

7. Shame yourself into thinking.

8. On a side note . . . I still did not learn why I always get lost when going to the plaza.
