Just saying.
It would be great to win this giveaway!
Fingers crossed…
Finally a film about the Minimalist Master himself!
I wants
I would make room on my space-starved wall just to display that gorgeous poster. Milton Glaser is one of my favorites.
Amazing news about one of the legends of Graphic Design! I am very excited and look forward to seeing the video. I have a nice collection of some of his work and a signed poster would definitely top that. This is really awesome what your doing to support the film.

I love that poster. I my wall needs him!
What a fantastic contest!
I am very eager to see this.

Very cool. Milton Glaser’s work rocks.
This is awesome! Really looking forward to seeing the documentary when it’s released.
I love Milton Glaser!
My boyfriend named his hermit crab after Milton, but it’s joint custody so I’m entering, too. 🙂
Dedication right there.
This is great. I find myself remembering his “10 Things I’ve Learned” time and time again. Awesome giveaway!
Milton is great! I had a book design project for school last year which was to be based around a well known designer, who’s name we pulled from a hat. I ended up with Milton Glaser. It was definitely a great learning experience researching his work.
Milton is loved by all! Art is work.
One of the Masters, I hope I can catch this film in E-Town, Canada :fingers crossed:
I was gonna go see this at the Woodstock Film Festival but never got around to it and now I’m sad. But if I win this contest I’ll be happy again.
Drawing is thinking. I would know, im an architect!
pick me!
Love all of Milton’s work! It always comes up as good reference material and I’m glad to see that his posters are just as relevant today as they were when they were made.
This is a great giveaway! Thanks for doing this!
Cool!!
Awesome that you’re able to do things like this Scott.
Here’s hopin’…
Pick me.
please enter me in the contest!
Super sweet giveaway and always good content. Keep up the good work.
Drawing is thinking… I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.
Actually, I now wish I’d come up with this succinct phrase for that twitter #whyIsketchlogos competetion that was around a while back. Alas.
This time, though…
Also, you guys have some brilliant musical taste. Your articles and colours are rad, but it’s the possibility of new musical tips that keeps your tab up permanently in my browser.
I dated a girl who bled chocolate pudding.

Great giveaway! keep them goin’

“Gimme a P

Awesome giveaway!
Best. Idea. Ever.
Mr. Glaser is a personal hero of mine. Good to hear that the film is getting the publicity it deserves. Makes me wish I still lived in the LA area so that I could catch a screening. Unfortunately, I think that unless it hits the threshold of 150,000 semi-wide release I will have to wait until the DVD. Which, makes me sad.
Amazing giveaway! Thank you very much!
Hopefully this film will be played out here in Denver.
Or should I say screening again… Since I missed it playing at the Denver Film Festival last year :/
Nice idea !
Sweet Poster.
ME?
I’m just getting into M.G. Living his work.
Loving rather.
What a great giveaway!
Shame the UK is a little far away to catch the screening.
Milton is a true inspiration to the generations of new designers world wide. His works are the right example that great design with the right idea can produce a tidal wave impact of creative thinking.
I also think that I have 0% chances of winning giveaway, because I’m from Serbia, a country that’s lightyears away (by the postal terms) from the US.
Nevertheless, I still enjoy looking at Bob Dylans poster that I have printed and taped together out of A4 sheets of paper, back when it was the only way for me to have it on my wall. My room changed but I never had heart to take the poster down. It is worn down and some edges are torn, but it was the first thing I printed on my jet printer almost 10 years ago. I think it’s going to be hanging there for a lot more time.
Do you send it overseas too??? will love it..actually I want it so badly… 🙂
Wow great giveaway! What a legend!
* Lucky Star *
This seems to be a moving subject!
*Fingers crossed*
great prizes, guys! will def checkout the film at the roxie.
Awesome giveaway….
Looking foward to see the movie… Then to read the book!
I really like Milton Glaser, and I really miss when DMX was cool…
I ♥
M G
Outstanding. Can’t wait to see the film!
Glaser is a legend for a reason I live in Ohio I may never get a chance to see the movie in theaters but maybe on dvd
Amazing work, can’t wait to see the film…..
If only I could achieve what he has accomplished as a designer, I’d be the most fortunate professional in the world.
Amazing giveaway, the man is truly an inspiration.
Good grief. Yes please 🙂
Awesome poster! Would love to hang that one on my wall…
Oh awesome! Thanks!
Brooklyn Brew logo, top notch. Love it.
That’s a lot of competition;) I would love to read the book though…
<3 that poster.
Far out, man!
I’ve been dying to see this film, but I’m going to miss the showing at the MFA in Boston because of some other commitments. A real bummer, because I’ve heard some good things.
Would love the poster. Thanks!
Sock it to me!
hey ho.
That’s Milton-radly.
I was fortunate enough to see the movie in NYC. It’s a great to finally see Milton’s accomplishments as designer in this form.
Ooh, I hope I win!
great!
His work is such an inspiration to me as a designer. That, and my dad keeps hording his original dylan glaser poster, so this way I could one-up him! Would absolutely love to have this.
Can’t wait to read the book!
His work reminds some of Edward Tufte, whose thoughts about information and the surprisingly beautiful way that information and ideas can be communicated.
I did a study on Glaser in college. I would love to win of course!
Awesome… Will have to wait for the dvd because the film will probably never make it to Jacksonville… but I’ll be looking forward to it!
That’s a stellar technicolor afro on that poster.
Come on lucky post #213… I promise to share the book if I get it.
Please enter me in the contest.
A book without words is more valuable than one with, count me in!
this is fabulous!
i’d really like to receive it, i promise i’ll keep it as a relic!
Great promo. Fingers crossed! Thanks for reminding me about the Hillman Curtis interview. I love the shot from his storage room, so many posters.
Hi Alex:
Have you had a chance to see the film yet?
I’m going to the late showing this evening… should be good!
-j
Yes please!
I ordered Glaser’s monography just yesterday! Looking forward to watch the documentary! 🙂
I’m going to win, I can feel it.
winning prices would be dandy! Looking forward to catching the movie when it comes to Portland.
Glaser is a giant among men. Definitely one of my all-time design heroes.
Now hand over the loot!
Can’t wait for a screening of that in my area.
Thanks for everything guys, your content, and you contests, are always top notch and inspiring 🙂
I love that original poster of Dylan, its the first thing I saw when I entered my design room at college.
The website doesn’t seem to have a schedule of when and where the film will be shown. Is that information available somewhere? Hope it makes it to Milwaukee sometime soon.
Great poster!
Chosen at random, really? will he mail to the uk?
One of my favorite pieces of all time.
I’m comment number 230…I hope I get it too. I’ve always loved that poster…
The book looks great!
Milton is truly design legend. His work should be carefully studied by all designers, from students to seasoned pros.
the book sounds cool. the poster looks cool. cool stuff!
Better cast my lot on this one! Awesome stuff.
I wish Milton Glaser was my dad.
me me me!
Must be good with all the comments trying for the free one…
PICK ME
would love the poster, one of my favourite images
what a wonderfull giveaway !
That’s a nice giveaway!
LOVE Milton!
that Bob Dylan poster rocks my world.
awesome contest, can’t wait to see the movie
I hope I win.
I’ve been looking for an original Bob Dylan Vinyl so that I could get an original poster that comes in it.
This signed poster would be better.
😉
Dope-ness, sign me up!
Sick! Glaser = Legend
Glaser is a bona fide design genius.
Computers are to design as microwaves are to cooking. – Milton Glaser
That poster has a special place on my wall 😉
Alan
Great advice from a Master in that book 4 sure!
ISO50 rocks my socks and so does Milton Glaser.
It it wasn’t for Milton Glaser we wouldn’t be designing today. 🙂
yes yes yes, i want this book!
peace and love to milton
=-
that is inceed a rockin’ poster. book looks good too!
Wicked! One question: How do you choose the winner in these sort of things? It’s hard to randomize comments.
I ask because I want to know if comments on the top and the bottom have the same chances of winning 😛
i want to make my mark in art but i always feel helpless when i am uninspired. i hope i win this. i have no money for such books. Milton Glaser seems like a really interesting person.
How exciting! I would love to win this giveaway. Great looking poster!
i hope i win!
i’ve always wondered what the world would be like without “i heart ny” t shirts all over the place.
This man is the artist who took graphic design from trade to triumph. When the history of graphic design in the U.S. is written, the book can be divided into sections: before and after Milton Glaser. I am thrilled he’s being honored for the genius and visionary artist that he is…
Can’t wait to see this movie when it comes out on disc, unless I am lucky enough to have it come to Grand Rapids, MI, but that is unlikely. I think this poster would be awesome.
Amazing
Milton Glaser work is pretty epic,
Nice Giveaway
Great giveaway and would love to see the film!
A personal hero of mine, I’m excited about the film!
Glaser’s image is great, but what’s with his portrait poorly added to the right? Ruins the entire thing.
me gusto esto…
I did a paper on him in college and it will be and honor and pleasure to see this movie. I wonder if its coming to NYC.
Design is NEVER empty.
Excellent giveaway, you guys are awesome and I can’t wait until I have a chance to see the film.
Hope this entry is random enough to win?
Vlad
i glance and admire my non-signed glaser/dylan poster each day.
I hope the documentary makes it to the midwest, specifically Madison WI, soon but I’m willing to wait until it arrives on dvd to see.
missed this in the theater, but looking forward to checkin it soon…
I’ll try sending my comment again. Send one yesterday but it never showed up in the list. Maybe it’s a conspitacy?
To bad I won’t be able to see this film, because I live in a country far, far, away… But stuff like tha sure need publicity and because of sites like this, we, mere mortals, have the opportunity to get some information and may have some chance of googlin’ for the way to find out more. Thanx for that. Here is a cheer for you – YAY!
Great giveaway, looking forward to seeing the film.
Here goes another comment.
FTW!!!
Scrolling down. Wow. Cheers
I hope AGDA runs a short screening here in Australia. Glaser is such a fantastic designer. I love his ideas for the supermarket he did.
Thats a lot of scrolling down indeed!
funny how the longer the odds get the more you think …F*&k it … probably a waste of time… but maybe I’ll just comment anyway…. gotta be in to win, no?
Heres to hoping (caveat: but only as long as chances are slim enough to not be disappointed when you dont win.) :o)
ah hell, maybe I’ll be lucky this once. please ?
🙂
I hope this is coming to the uk at some point. Looking forward to seeing his design on the big screen. Great giveaway.
May I have it? Please…pretty please…. 😛
Looking forward to the documentary. Enjoyed him in Hillman Curtis artist series.
Milton is Ace. Would love to have this stuff.

Ahhh, this was the book a friend had mentioned! Hope to get my hands on it one way or another!
Cheers!
how cool is this!
Super keen to check this doco out. No doubt will have to wait till its on DVD as there dosent seem to be any Australian screenings any time soon.
I got to meet him once 20 yrs ago, and was surprised at how big a man he is. The gentle works that come out of his large hands! Truly a giant in the field of graphic design. I’m looking forward to seeing the movie!
Nice! Can’t wait to see it.
Looks great!
Milton Glaser was the first name I learned in graphic design school. Can’t say I’m upset by that.
lylas!
Sweetness.
That looks just wonderful.
Thanks for the contest!
Hillman Curtis has done a nice short film about Milton, but I guess the majority of the people in here already have seen it:
http://www.hillmancurtis.com/index.php?/film/watch/milton_glaser/
awesome!
I was excited about the giveaway…Milton Glaser has been a hero since my childhood! One of the reasons I became a graphic designer, art/creative director was because of his simple and powerful images. I love the way he communicates through art and type! I was not aware of the book and I’m looking forward to an inspirational read!
Thanks!
sounds cool
Glaser and Push Pin just make my day more colourful and wild since I’ve met them. 🙂
Yee haw.
Comment
I’m in! I also hope to be able to catch it in some festival here.
Hey me too

Pretty rad — I’ll probably pick up the book either way. Thanks for the contest!
<3 Mr. Glaser 🙂 There is a spot on my shelf reserved just for that book!
-Big Fan.
Wicked! Good luck to me I suppose.
I wonder if the film will be accessible to those not able to go to screenings? I haven’t seen it coming anywhere close to where I live 🙁
wish I was in SF to see this!
Seems like a great book to have.
I just got home from seeing this film and it was fantastic.
Milton’s the man

{ d }
Its funny. I frequent this blog every couple days. It seems on average the comments are around 4 to 16 tops. But on this give away, it reaches a staggering 370+.
People like free stuff.
*By the way, I’m not trying to be witty and ironic to get a chance at the prize. Just an observation. Good blog though!
Do want.
Always have dug the Dylan poster. Would love to know more about this guy.
Great stuff that poster..
Long time fan of the blog and Milton Glaser. Where else could I satisfy my typography, synthy gheri curl soul, and eames obsessions in the same convenient place? Cheers!
