Thing I Have Learned In My Life So Far

Posted on February 25, 2008 Under Books

So far, Stefan Sagmeister has only learned around twenty things in his life. It appears one of them is that it's important to share what you've learned with the world. Through his site, Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far, Sagmeister imparts his own knowledge to readers through both written and visual media and asks readers to do the same by contributing their own life lessons illustrating them in beautiful words and via any medium they are comfortable with, whether it be through film, sculpture, paintings, graphic design, typography, compositing, motion graphics, etc. The result is a cross between Life 101 and an advanced course in the visual arts. Despite the fact that the idea has already been transformed into a book featuring Sagmeister's lifetime of knowledge along with typographic works to support this body of lessons, the site continues on because, well, we've still got a lot to learn.
