Glaser was born in 1929. He founded New York Magazine with Clay Felker and established Milton Glaser, Inc. He made a name for himself with his poster artwork, and the way the colors and designs in the artwork spoke as thought they were full sentences. He is best known for his design for New York:
This simple design that he came up with while riding in a taxi cab, has become the icon for the city of New York. Galser has been an artist since he was in high school. He has been known for his poster and prints, and his refusal to just follow what has worked. Glaser believes in creating art, not just doing what someone else has already done. He has permanent collections in many museums, and has had one-man shows at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Glaser is also an educator, and strongly believes in teaching the youth about staying creative and inventive. He has done it all, from cartoon, to design, to architecture, he has achieved many awards in all of these categories. His most recent award was the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, in 2004. Glaser has been the pioneer for graphic design through his interruptive art. He has been an inspiration to many artist and continues to help them down the path.
I enjoyed the film on Milton Glaser very much. He is an inspiration of what you can do if you really want it. He holds internships to help students get hands on experience. One of his most famous quotes about being your own designer was , "Computers are to design as microwaves are to cooking."
