Stefan Sagmeister on design and happiness
Merlin Mann | Jun 14 2007
TED | Talks | Stefan Sagmeister: Yes, design can make you happy (video) I really enjoyed this 15-minute TED presentation by Stefan Sagmeister (watch out: flashy page with grabby browser javascript) on how specific instances of design have made him happy. The replacement subway signs he mentions (recreation below via Chris Glass) really are pretty terrific. (Anyone have more info or links on the artist and the guerilla campaign?) Like, Chris, I also really like what Sagmeister has to share about the patterns in his own life that have made him more happy than not. It's easy to see how striving to live these sixteen bullets could help a person enjoy a more creative, open world.
Like Chris said, "Good stuff." Link and recreated graphic via: Chris Glass: "Making Happy" 15 Comments

Thanks for the post Merlin, I've always enjoyed Sagmeisters work, extremely sharp work and these points are very good stuff. I must admit to having removed 43 folders from my "shortlist" after the last months of software related post frenzy, perhaps I'll start checking in again. » POSTED IN:
