'Milton Glaser's designs changed the way we see the world.' - Gloria Steinem An overview of the work of illustrator and designer Milton Glaser during the 1960s and 70s From 1954, when he co-founded the legendary Push Pin Studios, to the late '70s, Milton Glaser was one of the most celebrated graphic designers of his day, whose work graced countless book and album covers, posters, magazine covers, and advertisements, both famous and little-known. Glaser largely defined the international visual style for illustration, advertising, and typeface design and interest in his legacy continues unabated, with modern creatives acknowledging his influence; for example, in 2014 Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner enlisted Glaser to design the ad campaign and branding for the show's final season. His renowned work garnered solo exhibitions at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Creator of the iconic 'I love NY' logo (featuring a heart symbol in place of the word 'love') and cofounder of New York magazine, Glaser received numerous accolades and lifetime achievement awards. Across thousands of works across all print media, he invented a graphic language of bright, flat color, drawing and collage, imbued with wit. This collection of work from Glaser's Pop period features hundreds of examples of his design that have not been seen since their original publication, demonstrating the graphic revolution that transformed design and popular culture. 1100 Illustrations, color

As Glaser explains in an exclusive interview with amc.com, the imagery plays on recurring themes from the series,”notably the head of a woman and the wine being poured.” Another familiar element that Glaser incorporates is “the figure that has become symbolic of the program” — the iconic silhouette of Don Draper from the show’s opener. Juxtaposing Don’s original Season 1 image with psychedelic art indicative of the new season was a challenge that Glaser happily accepted, and the result is, as he puts it, “harmonious and convincing as a single experience.” Click here to read amc.com’s exclusive Q&A with designer Milton Glaser. Mad Men‘s final season begins Sun., Apr. 13 10/9c on AMC.
Several years ago, I was on a local PBS show called Chicago Tonight with host Bob Sirrott. I was there to discuss the preservation/restoration process of a railway station I had become involved with in nearby Skokie, IL. As an introduction, Bob was giving an overview of projects I’d done and then proceeded to describe how much he saw the influence of “Mad Magazine” in my work. I had never articulated this myself, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized how spot o
