Push Pin Studios is a graphic design and illustration studio formed in New York City in 1954. Cooper Union graduates Milton Glaser, Seymour Chwast, Reynold Ruffins, and Edward Sorel founded the studio. After graduating from Cooper Union, Sorel and Chwast worked for a short time at ''Esquire'' magazine, both being fired on the same day. Joining forces to form an art studio, they called it "Push Pin" after a mailing piece, ''The Push Pin Almanack'', which they self-published during their time at ''Esquire''. Sorel and Chwast used their unemployment checks to rent a cold-water flat on East 17th Street in Manhattan. A few months later, Glaser returned from a Fulbright Fellowship year in Italy and joined the studio.〔Blechman, R.O. ("Edward Sorel," Hall of Fame biography, ) Art Directors Club (2002).〕 The bi-monthly publication ''The Push Pin Graphic'' was a product of their collaboration.〔(Seymour Chwast & Push Pin ), accessed June 6, 2008.〕 A distinctive quality of Push Pin's early illustration work was a "bulgy" three-dimensional line.〔Interview with Robert Grossman, in Heller, Steven. ''Innovators of American Illustration''. New York: Van Nortrand Reinhold, 1986.〕 Sorel left Push Pin in 1956, the same day the studio moved into a much nicer space on East 57th Street.〔 For twenty years Glaser and Chwast directed Push Pin, while it became a guiding reference in the world of graphic design. Today, Chwast is principal of The Pushpin Group, Inc.〔(Pushpin Group website ), accessed June 6, 2008.〕 The exhibition "The Push Pin Style" traveled to the Museum of Decorative Arts of the Louvre, as well as numerous cities in Europe, Brazil, and Japan in 1970–72. Graphic designers and illustrators like John Alcorn (in the late 1950s), Paul Davis (1959-1963), Barry Zaid (1969–1975), and Paul Degen (1970s) spent time at Push Pin early in their careers.〔(AIGA Biography of Paul Davis ).
