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

Sagmeister has always had interesting things to say, and is sometimes deified a bit too much in my opinion, but he does turn out some good work (although some of it is too artsy for your average project). I've always been inspired by his "year without clients" project, and these are pretty inspiring points. » POSTED IN:
