Milton Glazer

This is an excerpt from an interview by 'designboom' with Milton Glazer on May 18th, 2004.

Designboom: describe your style, like a good friend of yours would describe it.
Milton Glazer: its most striking character is its randomness, its range, very often you could not say that the job was done by me, because there are jobs that require the absence of style, as well as those that require the presence of style....

It is so true that there are jobs that require the absence of style, as well as those that require the presence of style. In the early years as a graphic designer I found it insulting that someone would request for a design absent of my style, but over the years I've come to believe I design to increase easy access of information rather than show-off my creativity. I've had trouble putting this in words for many years, so it was refeshing to read a sentence so well phrased, in 'a matter of fact' manner from a renowned designer.
