I remember first coming across the work of Push Pin Studios while I was still at college. We had many American design magazines in the library and I just wanted to know, ‘Who are these guys?’
One of the co-founders was Milton Glaser, an American graphic designer, who was a true icon, known for his vibrant and optimistic style. His iconic “I ♥ NY” logo has become a symbol of New York City and a testament to the power of graphic design to capture the spirit of a place. His 1966 poster of Bob Dylan was an emblem of the times. Glaser’s work spanned a wide range, from magazine illustration to environmental graphics, always characterised by its creativity and humanistic approach.
