Milton Glaser
Dylan, Poster inserted in album "Blood on the Tracks"
1966
Milton Glaser has been one of the most pivotal figures in contemporary graphic design and illustration. Glaser is a profoundly influential master of communication, as well as a charismatic mentor and humanistic force for social change. His work is characterized by its masterful handwork, its love of storytelling, and its sense of joy. Glaser's career spans more than fifty years and includes logos, ads, posters, portraits, and identities for newspapers, magazines, books, exhibitions, grocery stores, and restaurants. In 1954, he co-founded Push Pin Studios. Known for its humor, narration, decoration, historicism and parody, Push Pin's work was showcased at Le Musée des Arts Décoratifs at the Louvre in Paris, and subsequently emulated around the world. In 1968, he co-founded New York Magazine, which became the prototype for city magazines and service journalism across the country. His other iconic works include the album cover for Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, the interiors for Windows on the World (at the former World Trade Center) and the Rainbow Room restaurants, logos for Angels in America and the World Health Organization (the international AIDS symbol), and the world-famous "I Love NY" logo (which, after September 11th, was transformed into "I Love NY More Than Ever").
