Stefan Sagmeister, from Vienna, has designed for clients like Rolling Stones, HBO, and the Guggenheim Museum. He's been nominated five times for the Grammies he finally won one for the Talking Heads boxed set. He also earned practically every important international design award. His shows have been mounted in Zurich, Vienna, New York, Berlin, Tokyo, Osaka, Prague, Cologne, Seoul and Miami.

The guy knows how to get attention. I don't know the full story behind this AIGA poster. But I can tell you that it's a picture of himself and the writing is his own using a razor blade, ouch. No room for typos or date changes.
