By far the easiest letter to populate for me—G is for Glaser. Milton Glaser is the single most influential artist in my design/illustration life. I was fortunate enough to sit in an audience while he spoke about design, ideas, and creativity at one of the many HOW Design conferences that I have attended. Through the power of the internet, I have found several amazing video clips where he discusses his process and thinking. One of the best
Of these videos was Milton Glaser: How great design makes ideas new on TED
His site, MiltonGlaser.com, is a very simple-to-use website full of fabulous imagery, writing, and thought.
Most people are familiar with his I (Heart) NY graphic. His identity work also includes the graphic for Barrons, Grand Union Superstores, and the Brooklyn Brewery to name just a few that I really like. In his talk at HOW, he described the incredible and exciting challenge of rebranding an entire grocery chain from the identity, to environment, to product labeling.
He does it all. His illustrations are meaningful and finely crafted. I’m not sure what else to say about his work other than to display some of it here and encourage anyone reading this to visit his site for more beautiful work by this living legend of design and illustration.
