The Push Pin Studio (updated)

The Push Pin Studio was the brainchild of Seymour Chwast, Milton Glaser, Reynold Ruffins and Edward Sorel. The said movement was founded by them in 1954 in New York 

 The studio drew inspirations from diverse historical sources such as Italian Ranaissanc paintings, Victorian Letterforms, comic books and primitave wood cut illustrations. 

The characteristics of the Push Pin Studio were bright coloured narritave illustrations, forms exaggerated, flattened and unexpectedly juxtaposed to humorous effects. Book jackets, record covers, posters and magazine illustrations were the groups speciality .The Thames & Hudson Dictionary of Graphic Design and Designers, pg179
