Stefan Sagmeister is a known for his graphic design, performance art, and typography work based in New York City. In 1933, he founded his company Sagmeister Inc., specifically to create designs for the music Industry. Pictured above are two examples of album covers done by Sagmeister. He is known for his wide variety of tools, materials, and techniques, his typography, and his controversial imagery that shapes his artistic identity. He has done movies such as The Happy Film and has designed album covers for Lou Reed, OK Go, The Rolling Stones, David Byrne, Aerosmith, and Pat Metheny.
The images above Sagmeister makes the words come alive. Not only does he out type onto people but he makes the type apart of the person. The type is the focal point. He uses such bold and strong structure to his work that it really stands out.
