THE 1980S Stefan Sagmeister became a critically acclaimed graphic designer for his work during the 1980s. Sagmeister has created many distinct record covers throughout his career to the present day. Many of the record covers Sagmeister designed have been innovative, experimental, playful packaging, mostly involving illusion with Compact Disc (CD) cases. Sagmeister welcomed the new 5” CD packaging during the ‘80s. Peter Hall (2009, 136) the writer of Sagmeister’s book, Made You Look, states, the CD covers ‘offered a new play found for optical trickery and invention... it offered the interplay of moving surfaces and materials.’ These methods of playful design were unusual as beforehand the designer commonly designed for cardboard LP format rather than smaller plastic jewel cases. Stefan Sagmeister (2009, 135) describes using the cases, ‘It has a book-like element, and its ins and outs can be a lot more surprising than pulling out a big old record out. It becomes a toy you want to cherish.’ An example of his use of playful packaging was for the band H.P Zinker with their record Mountains of Madness. Where Sagmeister played with 3D illusions for this cover. Sagmeister is most famous for his work with Lou Reed and Reed’s iconic album, Set the Twilight Reeling. Peter Hall (2009, 228) describes the typographic tattoo-esque treatment of the cover as ‘…effectively conveying the personal, confessional nature of the songs on the album.’ 32
