Designer Hillman Curtis produced this short film on one of graphic design’s living legends, Milton Glaser. It’s titled “Art is Work”, and offers a peek at Glaser’s thoughts on why designers do what they do, and why he teaches design.
“… the life of a designer is a life that is very much between two sensibilities, that of the businessman and that of the artist”
“… art performs this pacifying function in culture, … its practitioners create commonalities — they create things to gather about”

I just received a stack of authentic Glaser posters from my pre-RIT college. Remind me and I’ll bring one in for you. http://www.miltonglaserposters.com/pop/new01.html
