Things I Have Learned In My Life so Far

This book began as a list Stefan made in his diary of things i have learned in my life so far, which include statements such as 'Complaining is silly. Either act or forget' and 'Trying to look good limits my life'. These sentences were then transformed into typographic works, from bill-boards in France to sign-toting inflatable monkeys on the streets of Scotland. 
Everything about the project - its energy, humor, ambition and ingenuity  - is typical of Sagmeister's work. "It's a sublime mixture of violent and subtle, gross and endearing, direct and pensive," said Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. "Stefan is a razor-blade wielding, gracefully brutal, always surprising master of communication - the Johnny Depp of the design world."
