Favourite expert? Stefan Stagmeister.
Born in
Austria, right now based in New York city. Has it’s own design firm –
Stagmeister Inc. Won Grammy award for art directing ‘Once in a Lifetime‘ box set by Talking
Heads. Released two books: ‘Made You Look ‘ (2001) and ‘Things I have
learned in my life so far‘ (2008). Also works as a lecturer in the graduate department of the School of Visual Art in
New York. Has been appointed as the Frank Stanton Chair at the Cooper Union
School of Art, New York.
And I like him not because of
his awards or jobs he has, you just look at his work! It is design mixed with
art. Some dreams. Smart thougts. Life experience. Fun. Hard work. And fantasy. Open his web page. And you‘ll see not a
simple homepage – it is an actual camera, recording his office at the moment,
so you can actually see what is going on there! And by clicking on the
particular sticker on the floor you are redirected to the ‘normal‘ web page. He
is one of the people who brings ideas. New ideas. New concepts. New thoughts.
His designs are optimistic, I really like colors, shapes, different materials
he uses.
Book ‘Things I have
learned in my life so far ‘. Divided into 15
unbound signatures in a laser-cut slipcase, so you can have 15 different covers.

bananas. Green bananas created a pattern against a background of yellow bananas
spelling out: Self-confidence produces fine results.

First printed book in Europe? Johannes Gutenberg‘s Bible.
Although the first
printed book is thought to be ‘The Diamond Sutra‘ , in Europe printing (with movable
type) was invented only in 15th century. The first major printed book is said
to be german printer‘s and publisher‘s Johannes Gutenberg‘s Bible (published in
1455). Gutenberg experimented with printing single sheets of paper and even
small books, such as a simple textbook of Latin grammar, before beginning his
work on the Bible around 1450. Although there are a few hypotheses, that
Gutenberg was not the first to invent printing in Europe, there are not enough
evidence to support these theories.
It is also called
42-line Bible, because it has two columns of text and 42 lines in each column. The
number of lines was increased during the printing proces, some pages have only
40 lines per column.
Making of Bible. First
of all Gutenberg‘s printers printed the main text areas. Then red headings and
lines througt each caital letter were added by hand. The last stage was for a
skilled artist to add the large capital letters and decorations.
Obsession. Stefi
Pradėjau va tokį dalyką. Apie apsėdimus. Apie žmones. Apie
dalykus, be kurių jie negali gyventi. Nes visi turi kažką keisto. Arba per daug
normalaus.
Visada laukiu naujų žmonių, kurie nori įamžint savo
apsėdimą. Pomėgį. Įprotį.
So I srarted this thing. About obsessions. About people.
About things they can‘t live witout. Because everybody has something weird. Or
something overly normal.
I am always waiting for people who want to record their
obsession. Habbit. Hobby.
The first one.
