Also I know a lot of people who are older idolized Sagmeister. But what did he ever do besides a few cool books and a Rolling Stones album cover?
- Can be said about any designer ofcourse... we just make stuff pretty. No worldchangers, no real heroes.tank02

- She's basic.omahadesigns
- So she's a total Instagram addictBennn
- Does she have like 10 IG accounts? Jeez, not even celebrities and models have that many.NBQ00

What a bunch of haters, including myself. lol
- We're all self centered but nothing bugs me more than someone with an instagram full of photos of themself.omahadesigns
- I feel you, she definitely has an admiration for her own image. Just though tit was funny how we've been QBN'ing about it :DMaaku
- tit was funny, lolBennn

Now just "&Walsh":
"Launched yesterday, &Walsh is the new creative agency headed by Jessica Walsh. Previously a partner with Stefan Sagmeister, operating as Sagmeister & Walsh, for seven years, the new firm is a continuation of the evolution of that firm that will maintain the 25 people that were there prior to the name change, minus Sagmeister who is withdrawing from commercial work to focus on personal work (not just a sabbatical as he has done in the past but for good). Based in New York, NY, &Walsh will focus on branding and advertising, kicking things off with their own identity."
- That wordmark is just miserable.Continuity
- That ampersand, thoughGnash
- Congrats to him for leaving and well, she struck gold when she started with Sagmeister. Who knows how she got all the success.NBQ00
- NB, you have to be a hot young designer just out of SVA, spy a top designer at a conference, target them. Bang them for some years, then go off on your own.robotron3k
- nuditymonospaced
- Start your own shop & claim you did it all on your own. Also get naked a few times for for press and clicks. Presto, you're a successful designer. So so easyrobotron3k
- She's run the commercial side for years. They maintain a team of 25 and get paid well to do weird art projects for brands. Why minimize what she's done?voiceof
- I remember her stuff when she just started. Was nothing special. There were far more talented & innovative designers. I guess looks/ nudity do matter?NBQ00
- fucking gross logocolin_s
- some of these comments reek of incels ffsernexbcn
- Yeh horrible logo, but agree with voiceof, you sound like bitter old farts.ben_
- Not bitter, just here to discuss.NBQ00
- Some pathetic boys here.i_monk
- Good for her, says I....exador1
- I've seen both Sagmeister and Walsh speak separately. His preso's were focused on substance and interesting design projects. Walsh was more self absorbed IMO.brandonp
- That's how she comes across. Very ego and all about her.NBQ00
- And she is a commi.Hayoth
- This site is turning into a bunch of bitter old men railing against the youth of today...rather sad! ;)yuekit
- I like her, and her work. I'm not so keen on the logo (ampersand is great), but you can't judge it fairly without seeing how its applied to things.Melanie
- Damn. I just checked out the applications. I don't like it, though I did appreciate the "Emloyee name" & Walsh business cards.Melanie
- Youth? She's 32NBQ00

- pointer to walsh?section_014
- nbq and robo jimmies rustled so must be doing something rightPeterPancake
- I'm not bitter at all that she's successful. Just discussing here. Why, how, etc etc.NBQ00
- The intro video with the animations on her face is so corny and cringeworthy. She really seems obsessed with herself.NBQ00
- https://andwalsh.com…NBQ00
- She's talented for sure, been following her on social media since years. The 'naked' part surely helped her to be known more widely and attract eyes over.Bennn
- Not just the nudity. When you're pretty it's much easier in life. Bennn you could explain this further.NBQ00
- Part of her schtick is marketing her persona and art based around the self. You certainly can't forget the poster that made Saggy famous, right?ben_
- I'm not saying she's great, but it's not like she's inconsistent.ben_
- The applications on this identity feel like throwaway work from Non-Format though.ben_
- Aesthetics aside, good for her and good for him for switching gears. I think she was smart to start working with/for him when she did the move.Maaku
- Now she owns the place. Personally, I don't like her shit but y'all are salty :) #BossMovesMaaku
- If salty then it's just that looks are big part in being successful in this superficial world.NBQ00
- The studio's new look aside, they have done good work under Walsh, which as pointed out before has been under her direction for years now.ben_
- Her work is mostly over-decorative design for brands we don't care about. But she employs people and is probably a nice person. We all can't save the world.omahadesigns
- Save the hate for people doing wrong in the world.omahadesigns
- no hate here. not sure why any little discussion means "hate", not at all.NBQ00
- Not aimed directly or solely at you NB. Robo's comments are filled with misogyny and clueless hate though.ben_
- to be expected though, I guess.ben_
- Extraordinarily Ordinaryutopian
- Don't worry, she'll be back next year same time to self promote more nude shots.robotron3k
- I hope a full on porn coffee book with all the girls there.NBQ00
- *coffee table bookNBQ00
- that whole company is a coffee table book imhocannonball1978
- Her website needs more pictures of her.utopian
- great case study to elevate a shitty identity. personally my taste goes to less dress up. that "case study" content crap. hate the 3d shit and the crappydeathboy
- computer word app type font. but 90s coming back so maybe shes positioning herself for a win on ugliness. she seems trend chaserdeathboy

the top middle one, tells everything about how pro actually they are lolsted - How many men in this industry do you credit their success to their looks?i_monk

"indoor outdoor i'm so clever, that's why i will rule forever"

Don't forget the dating project she made where she dated another mediocre designer, which had its story sold for movie rights and a book was published.
- lol "another mediocre designer".NBQ00
- He does cute typography that looks like it belongs on Old Navy shirts.omahadesigns
- and he is gay? :Dsted

- Just looked at some of his work. Another designer that likes to doodle, oh-mah-gerd. and $45 for that poster? Ha.Maaku

Its funny because we're talking about her since two days. She clearly wins on every levels lol
Anyone reaching the status of 'Rockstar' designer can do whatever he want, it will always be a success.
She worked for it, she deserved the fame. She made smart moves and we would all be super happy to have her success.
If she would have been an ugly woman and/or never made naked pictures, would she be where she is now? Who knows
- We aren't talking about her because the new shit is so amazing and it shows that she should have part ways with Sagmeister for years to reveal her true talent.sted
- Their level of bullshitting made it possible to sell mediocre and sometimes shit designs as success. One result is that professionals talk about them.sted
- This what I'm telling eighteen Benn... If eighteen isn't hot with a tight little bod, he gonna need lots of luck.robotron3k
- Funny thing, the client don't seem to use any work presented, even the dog stuff.robotron3k
- I actually think they are a photo rental studio, masked an design agency. Something about them seems so thirsty.robotron3k

i don't really know the history of walsh, but i did like sagmeister for a while. whatever.
granted this is my political side just getting into design again but it seems like the growing movement of design as art - and this rebrand launch is certainly a push in that direction - is a continuing trend of corporate sponsored creativity where, eventually, this shit will get into a museum because of "cultural impact" when really it's a goddamn promotional shoot for a logo (speaking of the ampersand).
the thing is it isn't bad, but when the entire endeavor is to focus on corporate clientele, the idea that you're anything other than a whore is kind of laughable. the sheen and makeup routine isn't anything new, agencies have done this in different capacities for years. it's kind of interesting she's using the whole nudity thing, but that's open for critique as well (i.e., is it a shield from criticism due to the nature of anti-feminist online troll types, etc.)
i dunno. it just bums me out this dumb shit is gonna end up in the moma someday. then again i'm in their collection too so there's no accounting for taste.
- Worst humble brag I have ever read. Jesus fucking christ.bumdrizzle
- You do realize that the Mona Lisa is just some rich guy's wife? You should study art history a bit more, most of the classics have a commercial genesis.zarkonite
- A lot of art is just networking. Lots of shitty abstract paintings or collages or sculptures made of trash make it in galleries.omahadesigns
- Most art is funded by other people and corporate installations have been there forever.omahadesigns
- Sounds pretentious to complain about a museum when they show such variety.omahadesigns
- If it's not corporate, there's no money.omahadesigns
- Maybe the MoMA doesn't matter then?ben_
- ^ that. Who says MoMA knows anything about taste?omahadesigns

Looks like neither Sagmeister & Walsh nor Creative Review was behind the “robbery” and was a clever ruse by the upstart group achos (http://achos.es).
Full details here:
http://www.creativereview.co.uk/…
From the article:
So, how did they create such a convincing looking video of the Sagmeister & Walsh studio? "We looked for a space with similar proportions to their studio, and then we began to reconstruct the scene of the crime," achos say. "We shot a video recreating a robbery and kept the best frames. With a bit of photo editing and a lot of patience, we'd managed to get into the studio of Sagmeister & Walsh without ever leaving our homes!"

This Ben99 username makes me feel out of sorts.

Saggy, stop thinking of lame things to do to get press and just get back to having an intern cut type into your skin.

All the work looks like it's from a be-hance portfolio with expensive production budgets now.
