* Stefan Sagmeister – Things I have learned in my life so far

Posted on January 21st, 2009 by alessio.


That Stefan Sagmeister was a genius it’s clear since the 1987 when his girlfriend asked him to make her some business cards that didnt have to cost more than 1$. He took 1$ bills and printed her details on.
His career is just amazing and sees long-standing artistic collaborations with musicians like David Byrne and Lou Reed.
Now he has just published a book. Here how it looks like:

* Pop-Up Books: Colette Fu

Posted on October 23rd, 2008 by alessio.


Few months ago I realised a Pop-up book (pictures to come on my portfolio page) and before starting I watched thousands of videos on you tube just to see something amazing that a beginner would never be able to realise.

Colette Fu is for sure my favourite “paper engineer” and an amazing artist and this “My First pop-up books” video shows her marvellous creations.
