Recommendation

Illustrious graphic designers and art directors Walter Bernard and the late Milton Glaser discuss the three different eras of their friendship: They launched New York magazine together in 1968, worked separately from 1976 to 1982, and in 1982, launched the design group WBMG. Magazines foreshadowed web pages, which are also fundamentally word-image projects requiring text and visual design. Bernard and Glaser present a saga that’s a must for anyone who loves magazines or design.

Take-Aways

  • Milton Glaser and Walter Bernard revolutionized design at New York magazine.
  • Illustrations can offer a vision that photography cannot.
  • Magazine illustrations eerily foreshadowed the events of September 11, 2001.
