    DAMN!

    An absolute waste of time watching this BS. Also, the title is deliberately misleading to get people to view it (yeah, I fell for it). It should be re-titled “How to make Graphic Designers fall asleep”

    “Good clients make great designers.”
    Amen.

    Because Sagmeister gets interviewed all the time. It would be a good idea to have different people with different opinions. So people like us can form our own conclusions. =)

  • DesignKiller76 says:

    and the screen behind him is displaying his best graphic design work? huahuahuahuahu. The only think i agree is the fact that a concept is important. The rest is a senseless speech.

  • brandoncoxdesign says:

    This guy is completely lost. Why not interview a great designer like Neville Brody or Stefan Sagmeister? Not an egotistical know it all like this guy.

    eHow fails on having this guy here calling himself a designer…

    wow, this is so bad!
    what a loser!

  • HRDINA1 says:

    What he says itsn’t …
    What he says itsn’t total bullshit. Designing is finding a new solution. A good designer would not use the HP monitor he has in the background. It does swivel 90°, but has some of the worst backlight-bleeding I have seen. Colors are not reproduced well throug out the monitor. So much brighter near the edges and is a TN display. Come on, really? Experts?

    i watched this video because im a sophomore in high school who wants to go into graphic design (with a focus on advertising) hoping i would learn the smallest bit of info about a designers life….but i fell asleep…

    If your a student DO NOT Listen to this person, they are a show boat with NO idea!

    @kmarois yea I know that’s how it is. i just said that they payless for a reason, but yea I knew that.

  • kmarois says:

    @shechshire yes …
    @shechshire yes they pay a great deal more than the rinky place on the street corner of a small town. But they also will rarely hire recent graduates. They would much rather hire someone with a *professional* body of work in their portfolio and not student work. everyone who is working at their degree thinks they are going to walk outside and be asked to work for some huge company. Thats whats not true. You still need to work to get the great job. Not get the job so you can work.

  • shechshire says:

    @kmarois how so? …
    @kmarois how so? Bigger firms with high end clients usually pay more than small firms that just make business cards for little local companies that don’t pay as much. How is that not true? Its common sense. I mean I’m pretty sure the firm that created the logo for eHOW didn’t pay some little rinky firm in the middle of no-were vill.

  • kmarois says:

    @shechshire what …
    @shechshire what you are saying sounds like every single pre-bachelor I have ever heard. What you are saying is very simply not true.

  • footageheadONE says:

    This is great. Now I want to see video of this expert getting into his bear suit and giving the preeesentation that sold the client on the eyesore behind him. i want lotsa handwaving and bad teeth closeups for the navigation explanation.

    com’ on it’s a difference if u get to create a corporate design for a company or if u layout a flyer for the high-school-party

    I agree, it’s a really really bad design, and goes against everything he’s saying

    I can’t read it, can you? actually it’s a pretty crappy layout, I’m surprised he choose that to be in the background

    Anyone catch that blatant advertising in the background? ;)

  • shechshire says:

    really? that’s ironic because my cousin get’ payed well over a thousand or so a week and so we’ll I once a get my degree. that is, unless you work for some rinky mom n pop firm that only has red neck clients.

  • RhinoStompin says:

    What you have …
    What you have taught me is that It isn’t so much the work provided.
    It is the confidence portrayed in ones voice.
    Your bloodline has the voice, you have the words…
    Your speech sells itself. Not everybody has that nor, can they aquire it.
