He is an american graphic designer and illustrator. He has studied painting, typography and illustration and wanted to become a comic-strip artist which is why drawing is a key element in his graphic design background. He has designed advertising as well as print media where Glaser’s work became a fashionable cult. In the 1960s his work became flatter and brightly coloured, which was inspired by Pop and Op art. Glaser was art director of New York Magazine, which he helped to introduce into the industry. Another interest he followed in was furniture, consumer-products and interior design, as well as widening his involvement in print. He has been involved in many works and has designed numerous sign systems. I feel that his work is very much inspired by pop art and is not something I tend to enjoy. This tends me to not like his work but appreciate the design talent he has. I am not aware of many of his pieces although I can see his sense of style within the ones I have previewed online. I may grasp a full enjoyment of his work but I can understand how he has progressed and diversified over his lifespan. Although you may not recognise his name you may have seen his works such as the I 'heart' NY because it is a very iconic piece.
