Stefan doesn’t care about kerning!!

Yup. You heard it here first. We were up close n personal with the king of graphic design.

Here are a few choice, albeit paraphrased, sound bites from Sagmeister’s round table discussion at Gravity Free:

Sag on Pencils vs Illustrator:

Young designers today are as skilled on Illustrator as I am with a pencil. It’s a tool. So fine, treat it as a tool, but not as a solution.

Sag on sabbaticals:

Gaps are a possibility for re-organization

Sag on Art vs Design:

I like making things that are useful for the world. Design bridges that gap between conceptual art and marketplace.
