Breakthrough into the World

Firstly,

Did you find this person familiar?

Honestly, most people would not know just from looking this picture. He might seems ordinary, but well who knows that he's actually brings a very big influence to the world just by his ideas and creativity. Some of us, especially designers, must have known the name, Milton Glaser.

This person, is nonetheless, the person who makes one of the world's most famous and iconic design of all time. And everyone must have known his design;

Yes. I love NewYork. With creating a symbol of heart to symbolise love and to shorten the word "New York", this have been one of the most popular and well-known icon around the world, not just in New York. We all know that this logo has been followed and used by many many people in the world. Even we can see there are so much people who used it and changed the "NY" into another initials. Who knows that this simple yet creative design will make a breakthrough for almost all countries just because a simple shortened sentence. He's a genius indeed.

Born in New York City at 1929, he's one of the most adored American graphic designers until now. He has his own studio named "Milton Glaser, inc" yet his works are very well-known. His works has been featured on exhibitions, museums, galleries worldwide, and we can find his permanent collections on many museums world-wide. For us designers, he's one of the most inspirational artist to make a breakthrough for bringing one of the first modern design concepts in the world. 

And here are some of his famous works;

This is one of his most famous poster that shows the silouette of Bob Dylan, 

the name written bellow the poster, with colourful hair. 

This is very interesting for me because he only used lines to represent the hair and the face, 

and used colours to make it stands out.

This one is used for DC comic books, which is stands out for "Detective Comics", popularly called as "DC bullet" design. This one also brings out a beginning of modern logos which is used a more simplified yet meaningful icon to represent the theme and the brand.

Only uses letter B and circles, he cleverly uses colour to hold the design. This is also one of his famous logo designs, again with a simple yet strong logos.

So overall, personally, I really love his works, especially how his ideas for maintaining simpleness to bring out a new kind of design that has barely appeared to the surface is very sublime. Making such a breakthrough sure is not easy since he had to do things that people won't take risk at, but he managed that. I admired him for his creativity, his unique yet simpleness, his ideas and his style, and I will keep learning so someday I can take the same path as he did, to be productive and innovative, to make things new to the environment and to the world.
