JUNE 2010

     
Milton Glaser, this issue's cover artist, sits down for an interview after becoming the first graphic designer to win the National Arts Award, recognized for his achievement by President Obama himself. "The fact that it has become a benediction is important," Glaser says. "Officially linking graphic design with painting, music, etc. says that it's not a subset—that design affects the culture." Be sure to check out Glaser's five biggest influences.
 
Elsewhere, we asked 12 designers to design a limited-edition custom tote bag for their favorite charity, and all the proceeds will go to the cause that they choose. Featuring Ed Fella, Si Scott, Geoff McFetridge, Büro Destruct, Deanne Cheuk, Christoph Niemann, and many others. See the complete list. You can order them exclusively from My Design Shop.
