Coffee table essential

A project by Stefan Sagmeister and his company Sagmeister, Inc. This is a compilation of ideas from the favourite graphic designer. A series of magazine style books that illustrate (literally) the lessons he has learnt in his life. Really colourful and interesting to look at. Sagmeister, Inc. has a ridiculously good website too, some serious Adobe Flash genius stuff going on here. Check: http://www.sagmeister.com/index.html
It's the graf artist that everyone loves the most! A household name for most, but I just had to put it up here as an honourable mention. If society is hushing your buzz, pick up this and you'll see what Banksy thinks about it.
I heard an interesting concept the other day. Apparently Banksy isn't one person, but instead an anarchy organisation. A guy who met Banksy overseas also saw a presentation by him at Semi-permanent in Sydney, except it was the same person. Raising questions of a group of social artistic terrorists who all work under the alias of 'Banksy'. Interesting stuff.
