Milton Glaser I had the unique privilege of learning and working with Milton for five fulfilling years. My invaluable experience and growth as a designer under his influence has been the backbone of my career. I am forever grateful for his guidance, generosity and friendship. Most important, he has instilled the conviction that the chances of learning more never disappear. Here is just a sampling of projects I worked on while under Milton's tutelage.

Commencement Covers Twice a year we would design commencement covers for Stony Brook University. This was a great assignment because we would pick a poem and have that be the basis for the cover. This year's poem was, "I would rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach ten thousand stars how not to dance." -- e.e. Cummings. Creative Direction: Milton Glaser
