Stefan Sagmeister Day - "Expect The Unexpected"




These are just a few shots from "Sagmeister Day", one of the funnest and most productive days I've had in a long, long time!
  The work was inspired by Austrian Graphic Designer Stefan Sagmeister. Sagmeister has recently brought out a book titled "Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far" with graphic descriptions of important lessons he has learnt throughout his life. We took inspiration from this and worked on the quote, "Once you learn to expect the unexpected everything starts to fall into place".
  To show this we rented out elaborate costumes from the University library and did everyday activities in Carlisle city e.g. shopping, visiting cafes, taking walks around the park. It was really fun to document how people reacted to seeing people in costume in an unexpected situation.
  To look at other people's work based on Sagmeister's book visit http://www.thingsihavelearnedinmylife.com/. Some really clever and amusing work!
