As a creative person, I believe that you should have people to look up to as examples. There is always someone to give you inspiration just by looking at their past successes. Since I am studying Graphic Design I look at the forerunners of the trade and try to find the one I like the best and that I can use as an example to further my skills. Milton Glaser is the designer that speaks to me the most.
Milton Glaser (June 26, 1929) is an American graphic designer whose most famous piece of work is the 'I Love New York' logo which has become synonymous with American culture. He has also contributed to numerous campaigns, slogans, logos and marketing activities through the course of his illustrious career. In 1968 he also co-founded the extremely popular 'New York' magazine.
Milton Glaser is my favorite Graphic Designer because he makes his artistic talent show in the design. Milton Glaser also is able to show his voice really well in his work. He was able to speak about numerous political and social aspects in his work, which in return makes the viewer think. To me his work plays on both graphic design and fine art.
