“Things I Have Learned in my life so far”
Stefan Sagmeister is a well known “graphic designer” these days… although not one of my favorites… i just don’t relate to his work… and i find it hard to classify him as a graphic designer… but having attended one of his conferences (after his short presentation of the “Casa da Música” logo work) i was interested in his project regarding things he has learned so far… not because of his showmanship presenting those things but more about the ideia itself of registering things you learn yourself during a lifetime…

Art vs. Design
While i was reading some texts online regarding art vs. design i ran across someone saying something like this:
Art is someone using a medium to change the way we see the world, whereas design is changing how we live in it.
Yep, that does it for me… as i usually say, the world should be run by designers ; )
