I think there were striking resemblances between the industrial design film and the poster design project. I think that one of the largest resemblances is that both industrial design and the design work we did on our poster need to… Continue Reading
I have been familiar with Milton Glaser and his work from a young age- my mom has a degree in art education and my grandfather previously owned his own graphic design firm. From a young age, I would spend many… Continue Reading
Graphic design, though mute and simple, has the ability to influence emotions. I *heart* NY designer, Milton Glaser, discussed how his creation shifted the city’s conscience from being indifferent to declaring love for a place. A design, simple in color and… Continue Reading
My main takeaway from the film was the importance of allowing the viewer to piece together the design. A great example of this was when Glaser created the “I love New York” Logo. This design is so successful because it activates… Continue Reading
One of Milton Glaser’s most interesting concept he presented was the idea that his designs were able to reinvent the way others see the world. By being an artist and creating graphic designs, he was able to do more than… Continue Reading

I love New York. I really do. Any every since I was little, I’ve admired the famous I ♥ NY items that swarm the city. Shirts, hats, books, bottle openers, glasses, suitcases, snow globes. You name it, they have it.… Continue Reading
I have been quite pleasantly surprised with the Helvetica documentary and now also with To Inform and Delight. I studied abroad in Florence, Italy this past summer where there was sight-seeing galore. The art in Italy is typically historic and… Continue Reading

The documentary To Inform and Delight was, to my surprise, very interesting and entertaining. It does not seem possible to be entertained by a film about the process of design, nor does it seem possible to be entertained by a… Continue Reading

This film showed me that not only does design have the power to inform and to delight, but it is also capable, in rare but great instances, of completely revolutionizing a country. One of these powerful instances was the design of… Continue Reading
To Inform and Delight was a very insightful film. I found the history of Glaser’s work to be incredibly impressive and informative, especially from the perspective of a student in a beginners graphic design class. I feel like whenever I … Continue Reading
Something I’ve been relatively aware of throughout my life, and intensely attuned to in this class, is the belief that some people are born with “glasses.” These hypothetical glasses differentiate some designers from the rest and make them extraordinary. Many people with… Continue Reading
Simple. This is one thing Milton Glaser realized he needed to incorporate into “I <3 New York,” in order for it to be iconic. Often, humans try to go “above and beyond”; we think everything has to be exciting and… Continue Reading
I was both informed and delighted (sorry) by Milton Glaser in the movie. As a magazine major I loved hearing about the origins of NY mag and learned a lot about the interplay between content and design. Seeing the examples… Continue Reading
If there’s one thing that I learned from the film To Inform and Delight, it’s that graphic designers are under-appreciated. I had honestly never heard of Milton Glaser before this film, even though I have apparently known about him my whole life.… Continue Reading
Milton Glaser isn’t your typical graphic designer. Aside from his world renowned work and quirky personality, Glaser’s ability to break the rules and make up his own, makes him unlike any other designer we’ve seen thus far. This is especially exemplified… Continue Reading
While watching To Inform and Delight, Milton Glaser pointed out the importance of making things look like just happened, and not that they were designed. For example, Glaser did this when he placed stickers all over paper and liked how… Continue Reading
My creative process does not always follow structure, or even make sense most of the time. I feel like it is very abstract, and not always as cut and dry as it could be. That is why I resonated with… Continue Reading
I am impressed by Milton’s idea that he is not simply creating things but redesigning the world. Design can influence everyone unconsciously. Design can make the world more diverse and delightful. Design helps to create unique experiences in people’s lives.… Continue Reading
I was initially interested in watching “To Inform and Delight” because I didn’t really have any background knowledge of Glaser before watching the film. Then the opening slide that highlighted “form” and “light” within the title really caught my attention.… Continue Reading
The thing that struck me most about the film is the intelligence of Milton Glaser. The video overlay about a third into the movie of him drawing and one of disciple’s voices saying, “He’s so damn articulate,” just hit me… Continue Reading
The thing that stood out to me the most in this film was the moment that Milton Glaser proclaimed, “I don’t trust style.” With that statement, all of his designs made sense. He wasn’t trying to follow a set of… Continue Reading
It was truly a treat to watch “To Inform & Delight” and to learn about one of the most notable designers of our time. It was so cool to not only hear about Milton but to hear directly from the… Continue Reading
I chose this title: “See Where It Takes You” because Milton Glaser was about not overthinking his work and just seeing what happens. He created the simple I <3 NY logo. Although at first look it seems as if that… Continue Reading
The biggest thing that spoke to me from this film, and something that really influenced my poster, was that Glaser doesn’t create these wildly absurd, outlandish designs. He takes something very simple, an ordinary thing or concept, and makes it… Continue Reading
When watching “To Delight and Inform”, I found myself getting really interested in the concept of design “just happening” and not looking like its been designed. I began to realize that I never really look at something and think “oh… Continue Reading
We all know the ubiquitous I ♥ NY logo. It’s on t-shirts, posters, keychains… you name it. And it’s also been repurposed for tourist destinations around the world. But despite its omnipresence, most people have no idea where it came from.… Continue Reading

While “To Inform and Delight” is essentially a biography of renowned graphic designer Milton Glaser, the film teaches important lessons about graphic design as well. Something interesting that Glaser spoke to was how natural and fluid design should be. He… Continue Reading
WOW was my first reaction to “To Inform and Delight.” To begin with, the title slide of the movie highlights the worlds FORM and LIGHT in the title. I thought that was not only clever, but instantly demonstrated that something… Continue Reading
Milton Glaser wanted his art portrayed publicly. His mix of talent, play, and intelligence are traits he wanted to show the world and not have on a wall in a person’s home. Like Glaser, I love incorporating an interest into… Continue Reading
