Sagmeister, what a great name

I really enjoyed watching Sagmeister's video. His thoughts on experiencing, rather than showing happiness were really intruiging, and the examples he showed were great. I expecially like the subway signs and the speech bubbles because they interacted with everyday users, plus they were humorous.
I also liked how he made lists of what made him happy and what he enjoys in his career. By doing this, he could focus on what he really wanted and was able to use these in projects, which I would have never thought of doing.
The videos I watched all related to what Sagmeister was talking about. The first video, David Kelly: the future of design is human centered, talked about enteracting with viewers. My favorite part was the cubical redesign. It really took into account the emotions of people and turned the everyday experience into something enjoyable.
The second video, was on what consumers really want. It talks about how we have to create a unique experience for them, even in this mass consumer world.
This website is layed out very nicely, and I like how the content of the videos talks about all sorts of issues in the design world.
