uInspire – Milton Glaser via Creative Mornings/NYC

George Garrastegui — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 20:33:47 +0000

OK, if you live in New York, Zurich, Los Angeles & San Fransisco you should try checking out Creative Mornings. It is a breakfast series that is basically morning lectures designers from the area. I’ve never gotten a chance to make it I guess I need to be quicker when the tweets go out. Don’t fret if you can’t make it (like me) or are not in the area, they tape the talks and can watch them on Vimeo.

I had no idea that this has grown! It was something that I would find out via tweets or thru Tina’s swiss-miss.com site. For their first talk of the year they had Milton Glaser, the 2009 recipient of the National Medal of Arts.

From Swiss-miss.com

Our first speaker this year was design legend Milton Glaser. Needless to say that only 10 minutes after the RSVP-floodgates opened, this 500 people event was full. Milton’s talk was filled with an insatiable passion for design and amazing nuggets of wisdom.

Check out the video above.
