“To Inform and Delight”
A new documentary, "Milton Glaser: To Inform And Delight," depicts the life and work of the designer Milton Glaser (co-founder of New York magazine, creator of the famous I ♥ NY campaign).
Over the coming week, we’ll interrupt our normal DLB programming to bring you a special set of feature posts celebrating one of our favorite designers, Milton Glaser. We recently had a chance to speak with Glaser about our favorite topic, design ethics, and in celebration of the “To Inform and Delight” DVD launch, we will share some highlights of our conversation over the next week. We also have a few copies of the documentary and a few signed posters to give away – Nick will have details for you on Friday.
Even if you don’t know who Milton Glaser is, it only takes a few minutes of watching the documentary to realize you’re already quite familiar with his designs. Through casual conversations with Glaser himself and dozens of his closest friends and collaborators, the film gives an intimate look into the thoughts and processes of someone whose work – if not his name – is so ubiquitous and so influential. A constant theme is the importance of teaching; no doubt Glaser sees the film itself (as its title suggests) as part of his teaching project. We hope our conversations add something to that – stay tuned.
