Peel slowly and see
Stefan Sagmeister makes a lot of the rest of graphic design look impudent. His ability to challenge and question viewers is unrivaled. In a new show running in New York’s Deitch Projects (thousands of miles away from me damn it!) Sagmeister has created something both new and interactive, calling on public participation. If you’ve never come across his work before you’re in for a treat. His insights are both whimsical and intelligent. Find him contributing to the New York Times Blog ‘themoments” , as he tells of being stood up by Lou Reed, his taste for Swiss Chocolate and the ever ripening bananas for the above piece “Self-confidence Produces Fine Results”.
“As they ripen further, the typography (as well as the self-confidence) disappears only to possibly, hopefully come back again when the formerly yellow bananas turn brown.”
I love those non thoughts…
