Milton Glaser: An Icon of Art & Design Aug 19, 2019

Show notes

I am honored that I get to present to you my chat with inarguably one of the most important graphic designers and design thinkers in history - the one and only Mr. Milton Glaser. Our talk found him ever-inspiring, often deeply philisophical and sometimes fiery and brutally honest with his critique of the modern design world and some hopeful advice on what can be done about it. This ones for the books folks.
