stefan sagmeister live Q&A on skype
austria-born, new york -based designer stefan sagmeister is known for his tactile approach to graphic design, emphasizing material experimentation rather than digital rendering in works ranging from CD packaging and photographs to wall-scale installations and his own realtime website. design, sagmeister insists, ‘needed guts from the creator and still carries the ghost of these guts in the final execution.‘
on wednesday, january 25th at 6 PM EST,

2. Would you ever considering making your studio bigger and taking on more commercial work?
3. Are you designer or artist?
