Graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister did not care for engineering in high school. He found designing a poster that would communicate a vibe and draw crowds to an event to be way more compelling. After design school, the Austrian native decided that New York is the city that fits him best. With many awards and a big name in his field, he’s now focusing on art, exhibitions and taking a sabbatical every 7 years. He’s got a brain for planning and long-term data which allows for a very optimistic long view.   Images, links and more from Stefan Sagmeister!   Thanks to Adobe MAX for hosting us in the Airstream podcast lounge.   Many thanks to this episode’s sponsors:   CanvasPeople - You can get a FREE 11x14 canvas print featuring your own artwork or memorable photo.
