We "Heart" Milton Glaser! — Live video chat Wednesday JAN 20th, 8pm CST

Jan. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- UPCOMING EVENT: Wednesday January 20th, 8pm CST — Join us and the growing DesignChat community for a live video conversation with design legend Milton Glaser. Host, Ryan McGovern leads an informal face-to-face with this imaginative modern renaissance man — a rare breed of designer-illustrator that has influenced and delighted the world of art and graphic design.

Glaser's ever-expanding portfolio of work includes the original “I Love NY” campaign logo (1976) — described as “the most frequently imitated logo design in human history.” With the founding of New York Magazine (1968), co-founding of Pushpin Studios (1954) and his own studio, Milton Glaser, Inc.(1974), he's been able to pursue his passions and successfully navigate a career that's pointed many clients, friends and fellow designers down a path of true creativity.

We look forward to talking with Glaser this Wednesday evening and hope to draw a large crowd for this free live Online event. We hope to see you there too.

DESIGNCHAT:

DesignChat is an informal design discussion held weekly between creative professionals, artists, hobbyists and interested individuals. Started as a simple hashtag “#” conversation on Twitter it has grown to include a live broadcast, text chat and will, in the future, host a live event or two in the Chicago area.

Through conversation, DesignChat hopes to break down corporate and competitive barriers, unite the world of design and help us all identify with others in our profession. Guests range from the up-and-coming, to the established-and-honored.

None of the “official” staff have an “official” broadcasting background so it's become a fun, easy, and unintimidating way to talk to the people we've always wanted to know more about. Join-in on the conversation!
