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