To Inform and Delight is a great film that takes a close look into the beginnings, process and philosophy of Milton Glaser. It’s refreshing to see how a designer who has impacted the world tremendously, still finds so much fun in his work. What makes him unique for me is his ability to capture the feeling of a generation, a time period or culture in his work. 

I recommend checking out the film, which I found through the good people at Arthouse Films (an independent production and distribution label based in NY and LA) and learn why Milton chose a small office near a playground, how he developed his skills an illustrator & designer and exactly how much money he received for the “I ♥ NY” project (I know I was surprised). The film is due for public release May 22nd.

The film will be released alongside a new book by Milton, ‘Drawing is Thinking,’ which Arthouse Films will be raffling off along with a signed poster by Milton Glaser himself!

You can also find Art & Copy (formerly ‘The Alchemists’ by the One Club) on the Arthouse Films website, which I’m deffinatly going to grab up myself.
