Designers: Stefan Sagmeister and Clement Mok


Stefan Sagmeister was influenced by Tibor Kalman with social responsibility and activism. He also worked in one of Leo Burnett's groups in Hong Kong. He later opened Sagmeister INC. in New York City. He uses a lot of hand written elements, not much for the computer. He also uses a lot of photography. His style has described as interesting, quirky, and inventive. He is also well known for using the human body as his canvas. He takes a year off every 7 years to reboot and not get stuck in a rut.


Clement Mok worked for Apple and helped launced the Macintosh computer. He had his foot in every door ncluding designing, developing, web developer and software producer to name a few. He used bold colors and geometric lines in his designs. He mainly did logos and identity designs, but also did package design in the late 90's. He created his own business/company after leaving Apple called Clement Mok Design. He also co-created AIGA.
