Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far by Daniel Nettle, Nancy Spector, Steven Heller, Stefan Sagmeister
4.0
One of my favorite designers. Sagmeister is (at least to me) the epitome of what a graphic designer should be. He also fulfills my theory that the best designers are also hilarious.
This book is full of brilliant advice, hilarious (and also surprisingly touching) advice/observations on his life. There are a literal list of things he has learned, each accompanied by beautiful and inventive work that will inspire you. It’s hilarious, conceptual, smart, and most of all relevant. To everyone. The only thing that sort of bothers me is that while it is all (of course) brilliantly designed, the book itself is actually an odd 20 or so smaller books, which are sort of a pain to fit back into the case. My only complaint though, honest.
I would argue that even if you despise graphic design/art/witty people in general, there’s something in here for everyone. Read it.
