With almost 2.5 million views, Time magazine says about
Stefan Sagmeister’s Ted Talk**: “The power of time off”

**For more than 20 years, Sagmeister has poured his heart and soul into designing album covers for artists like the Rolling Stones and Lou Reed. But every seven years, he closes his New York studio for a yearlong sabbatical to rejuvenate and refresh his creativity.
In his talk, he explains how taking time off has allowed him to pursue “some little experiments” that have become innovative projects.
