As one of the most celebrated graphic designers of the 20th century, Milton Glaser’s work spans over three decades, creating iconic imagery to relate pertinent messages about society at large. The creator of the ‘I Love NY’ design, Milton’s ‘77 poster book is filled with colorful full page illustrations. An excellent source of inspiration for designers and creatives alike, Milton Glaser’s Poster Book is a journey into one of designs greatest thinkers.

Excerpt from the book:
“Milton Glaser is a romantic visionary whose surrealistic is reminiscent of the monsters framing two famous Italian Villas, Villa Palagonia in Sicily and Bomarzo.  His unusual juxtaposition of objects and surprising use of  proportions are among the best sights in recent seasons.  From a concrete block recenty warmed by the sun, grows a solitary poppy or listening ear amid the foliage of a tree.  In such scenes, the dreams of Milton Glaser, along with the mysterious events he inserts into his pictures, lure us to stray through the landscapes of his euphoric imagination.”
