Post Card: A Letter Written to Milton Glaser

Letter to Mr. Milton Glaser

—

Dear Sir,

Love to MG! A letter from a learner to a virtual guide, to say thanks! Thank you for inspiring me and my work an attempt to tell the truth. Believed to take doubts rather than assuming certainty.

The posters, illustrations, advertise, identity and what not is touched by you and made it wonderful. Nobody will forget your sincere attempt to minimise crime in New York City. That’s I Love NY!

Sir, your recent attempt for ‘Mother Earth’ for global warming will always inspire the new generation. You made a point that there is not only a single area to make a career into like only posters or only identity design. It will always motivate me.

You always inspired me work for the designs aiming for only ‘wow’ and not yes or no!

Sir, thanks for the Blessings!!
