            When I did the first graphic designer biography I did not realize that both Jessica Walsh and her partner Stefan Sagmeister were on the list of graphic designers provided. Stefan Sagmeister was born in Austria on August 6, 1962.  He started his graphic design career at the age of fifteen at an Austrian Youth Magazine called Alphorn.  He studied graphic design at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and later earned Fullbright Scholarship to study at the Pratt Institute in New York. He is the founder of the New York based firm Sagmiester & Walsh.  He has designed album covers for artists like Jay-Z, Aerosmith, and the Rolling Stones.  He has also won many awards from Grammy Awards for his work on Once in a Lifetime by Talking heads and Everything that Happens will Happen Today by David Byrne and Brian Eno to the In 2005 National Design Award for Communications from the Cooper-Hewitt National Museum

  1. Goes to show you how important a graphic designer is for other creative professionals... His "branding" helped to sell many records.
