Milton Glaser

To inform & delight

Milton is Glaser is a well-known graphic designer and he is famous for creating “I ♥ N.Y. logo”. He actually created that logo one day inside of a cab in New York. The logo helped reverse the decline and boost moral when New York City was widely perceived as danger zone. Glazer is about to tuen 80 and he is still designing. He has been designing at same office since 1965. His office is right next to an elementary school. Glaser said, we need to operate by interruption.

Food plays important role in his design because food is nurture, and shows generosity.He loves to teach others and desire to influence other’s lives. Advice he can give is whatever you learn take it to next project. During an interview he was asked to give advices for the young artist: it's a tough business,
you have to be amazingly consistent and persistent.
you have to work like hell. you cannot become an excellent practioneer without 
constantly working hard all your life. it is not an easy way 
to earn your money. you have to be well trained and you 
have not to be narrow to references, because everybody 
else is doing that at the same time. the richness of 
understanding comes from the deep historical, 
philosophical idea. Glaser said an inspiring statement that stick with me, which was “graphic designers have access to peoples mind and find something in common with each other. Social commentary and coexistence is important in his designs because that creates less likely to have war between each other. I like his positive ideas.Glaser’s work is everywhere logos, New York magazine, posters, restaurants, and super markets. He won a life time achievement award and received National Medal of Arts by President Obama in 2009.
