My friend Andres Maranta, a talented GCD at The Juju & Founder of GUTO Studio, asked Stefan Sagmeister his feedback on a project. If you haven’t heard of him, don’t worry, me neither. Whaaaaat!? I’m not allowed to lie on my blog and I have been living under a rock. Sorry Mr. Sagmeister.

“Sagmeister has become one of the world’s best-known graphic designers. He is known for his unorthodox and provocative art, creating brand identities for household-name corporations, high-profile advertising campaigns and iconic album artworks for the music industry.”

Stefan Sagmeister is an Austrian graphic designer, storyteller, and typographer based in New York City, with an impressive client list, ranging from The Rolling Stones and HBO to the Guggenheim. On that note, we can tell he is a very busy man.

I’m not not sure how many emails or messages he gets daily but he took the time to check my friend’s project, and replied on Instagram. That was amazing! If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

If_I_dont_ask_I_dont_get is part of The Happy Show. A thematic exhibition of film, print, infographics, sculpture, and interactive installations offering visitors the experience of walking into the designer’s mind.
