I was interested enough to check this out from a TED newsletter. Pretty interesting TED Talk by Stefan Sagmeister.
Stefan Sagmeister is no mere commercial gun for hire. Sure, he’s created eye-catching graphics for clients including the Rolling Stones and Lou Reed, but he pours his heart and soul into every piece of work. His design work is at once timeless and of the moment, and his painstaking attention to the smallest details creates work that offers something new every time you look at it.
While a sense of humor invariably surfaces in his designs, Sagmeister is nonetheless very serious about his work; his intimate approach and sincere thoughtfulness elevate his design. A genuine maverick, Sagmeister achieved notoriety in the 1990s as the designer who self-harmed in the name of craft: He created a poster advertising a speaking engagement by carving the salient details onto his torso.

Man oh man… I’m diggin’ the works. Truly one of the gifted artists I draw inspiration from, Evgeny Kiselev:
Awesome Design work by Scott Hansen / ISO50 who donated his time and talent to make the poster for Obama’s campaign.
