Illustrated Tutorial: Case study – Milton Glaser.
Studio: Students work on their assessments with Lecturer supervision.
From 1954 to 1974 Glaser was the founder and president
of the ‘push pin’ studio (with Semour Chwast, Reynold Ruffins
and Edward Sorel) in New York and from 1955 to 1974 the editor
and co-art director of the ‘push pin graphic’ magazine.
in an era dominated by swiss rationalism, the push pin style
celebrated the eclectic and eccentric design of the passé past
while it introduced a distinctly contemporary design vocabulary,
with a wide range of work that included record sleeves, books,
posters, logos, font design and magazine formats.
