Cover sketch for Time magazine. Very varied colour scheme with 'California' taking up most of the design. Relates to colourful stuff all around the image with 'summery' colours because they are quite bright. Simple background to show off more complex designs of objects

Super arty Flight of the Conchords poster - love it, love them! Blacks out people's faces and bodies to create a more colourful hair design which could relate to the artist and their perception of themselves. They are facing away from the front to show the intricacy of the hair

Foot fetish

Milton Glaser Collection, 1979, For Morris A. Mechanic Theater. Shows different types of shoes on a patterned background. Each of the seperate pictures follows a colour scheme and shows a variety of shoes that different people can relate to. They are all in line with each other and follow an organised design style. They all show the foot in the same position so that they are all united. The bright colours represent everyone coming together at the theatre to enjoy something.

Glaser has blacked out this body again and used the hair to show off most of the colour. It also looks like the woman is holding a lolly which naturally shows the same design pattern as himself with all of the different colours being mixed together. The contrasted body means that text is used on the face so that it still stands out.

Instead of completely blacking out the body, Glaser puts dark colours as a design in the face and body of the design, on which looks like an album colour, in contrast to this, he uses a baby pink so that the dark tones contrast so that it easily shows the face

The Tempest Shakespeare

The Tempest by William Shakespeare

Cover by Milton Glaser, a Signet Classic paperback from the 1960s. In this, Glaser uses the face, and instead of using a block colour, he uses what looks to be a fine liner design to create a patterned inside to the face which is quite intricate. This follows on into the hair of the person, which is then filled in with a majority of bright colours to represent his design style. The body of the person is blank so that the complexity of the design increases as you look up at the design.
