I love Milton Glaser!!!

I knew this designer last semester and had a little research about him. I would talk briefly about this designer.

Milton Glaser was born in June 26, 1929 in New York City. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna (Italy). In 1954, Milton Glaser and some of his Cooper Union classmates established Push Pin Studios, the first multimedia graphic design company in the US.

He worked as a lecturer for the Pratt Institute and the School of Visual Arts in New York.

Throughout his career, he has designed and illustrated over 300 posters in different fields such as music, theater and film. Moreover, he won a lot of awards and had many solo exhibitions.

His designs don't have place for the complexity. The simplicity can be found in his designs. Therefore, it makes his designs closer to the daily life and being accepted by people.

I would keep posting about Milton Glaser in the next few weeks to clarify his style.
