He has designed album covers for Lou Reed, OK Go, The Rolling Stones, David Byrne, Jay Z, Aerosmith and Pat Metheny. 4
I decided to look at Stefan Sagmeisters work because it appealed to me and i went to the library in the university and searched on summon for a book and i found a book of his work and it shows a few pieces he has created. I wanted to do some background research on this paticular designer as his work is inspirational and also the layout of his work is great.
I then looked at his happy show exhibition which has a lot of work that relates to the brief.

One of the largest exhibitions in MOV’s 120-year history, this astonishing experience transcends the boundary between art and design. It takes over museum galleries and in-between spaces-stairwells, hallways, and restrooms-in order to ask: what makes us happy? Sagmeister, who has documented his struggles with alcohol and drugs, weight gain, and depression, first conceptualized The Happy Show in an attempt to define and control his own happiness during a client-free sabbatical—a year-long break he takes every seven years to creatively recharge. The final display is the result of 10 years of research into his own personal happiness.

Audiences will also enjoy a preview of Sagmeister’s soon-tobe-released documentary, The Happy Film, which depicts his attempts to increase his happiness through meditation, cognitive therapy, and mood-altering pharmaceuticals.
MOV will engage visitors in a diverse array of public activities that extend The Happy Show into the community. Programs include a public symposium on ideas for happier communities led by one of the world’s foremost experts on the subject, University of British Columbia Confronted with stories about wellness, mindfulness, and Professor John Helliwell; a series of Happy Hours that will sexuality, viewers will be immersed in an experience akin to encourage Vancouverites to meet each other and inspire happiness through interaction; and a series of guerilla walking into Sagmeister’s mind. street interventions that invite social connection. The Happy Show is comprised of an array of engaging infographics, video projections, and interactive installations, including a stationary bike that powers a wall of neon, a

Artist Research: Illustrators
Alyana Cazalet With the playful eye of a cartoonist, Alyana is intuitive and spontaneous once she puts ink to paper. She likes to create images that say more than words can express. There’s the element of surprise, along with lots of movement and energy, in Alyana’s work. Her style is expressive and carnival-esque, and it’s evolving all the time as she experiments with new techniques and different media. She’s influenced by everything from Jazz to dark Russian literature, and from Hieronymus Bosch to the Moomins.

Development of practical outcome
This is were i will show the thought process of what i have thought about in my head and what the order each sketch will be and how they will link into each other and how they will become a finished piece. im hoping to incorporate somehumour within the images i draw so it makes people happy not just describing happy events which have happened or that could happen in the future. There will be a rough sketch of my thought process of the sequence, then the rough drawings in sketchbook of each frame of each happy event and future event. then i might experiment by
drawing on my wacomb tablet to the computer and this could be used for the animation i want to produce.
31
These tow photographs of my sketchbook shows some quick sketches as i went through a thought process of what my drawing for my final projecct will look like as i drew little sketches of what ech frame would be and the order inwhich these frames would appear. I am
