2009 Taiwan International Poster and CI Design Awards Announced

More than 1,750 design works were submitted from 41 different countries in this years competition. A total of 232 works were selected (27 award winners and 205 specially selected entries). Stefan Sagmeister’s piece shown above called Levi’s ButtonFly was chosen as the grand prize winner. To view the entire list of selections go here.

7 Year Itch…

We felt this Ted video of Stefan Sagmeister was appropriate given our hiatus. If your not familiar with Sagmeister’s studio every 7 years he takes a year off and closes his doors to explore individual creative pursuits. This is well worth a look!

Sagmeister Shreds Levi’s

Stefan Sagmeister has joined the ranks of an esteemed group of leading designers and artists that denim giant Levi Strauss has commissioned in the past to promote their brand of late. His distinct approach to design was the common thread Levi’s was looking for. And boy did he go all out on this one.

He shredded a pair of Levis thread by thread, dismantling studs, zippers, pockets labels — then pieced the elemets back together again. This piece in the end is classic Stefan Sagmeister, with playful typography and infused graphics composed of none other than the deconstructed pieces of a pair of 501 Jeans.

You can view the display at American Rag’s L.A. location and San Francisco location. To launch the promotion the word on the street is that a limited run of 501 museum-quality, poster reproductions of the graphics will be distributed for FREE at both locations.
