Rawsthorn, Alice. "What Stefan Sagmeister Has Learned in His Life so Far." The New York Times 3 Feb. 2008, Sunday ed., Arts sec.: 46. Print.
Alice Rawsthorn discusses Sagmeister’s exhibition and book titled "Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far,”. She briefly observes his biography as a designer and focuses on the important parts that ultimately lead him to begin his unusual working methods. Rawsthorn describes Sagmeister’s designs of the time as being full of “energy, humor, ambition, and ingenuity”. Utilizing the perspectives of other mentionable people, such as Paola Antonelli, who says “It's a sublime mixture of violent and subtle, gross and endearing, direct and pensive”, Rawsthorn provides the reader with a specific audience’s opinion of Sagmeister’s works throughout 2000. She also notices how Sagmeister’s work isn’t to everyones taste, how “graphic purists” prefer the elegance of visual guidelines constructed by organisations such as M/M, Graphic Thought Facility, and Experimental Jetset. (reference)
Rawsthorn also comments on Sagmeister’s working techniques in the scope of the exhibition."What I'm drawn to is his uncanny ability to reinvent himself," said a fellow graphic designer, Jessica Helfand. "The only constant in Stefan's work, other than its superior quality, is that there's nothing constant about it."
