Here are some snaps taken at Things I have Learned in My Life So Far - an exhibition of the work of legendary graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister at the SuperSpace gallery in Belgrade.
The show, which brought together a series of works illustrating sentences from Sagmeister's diary, closed last week.
