Mr. Vignelli’s Map

This reading was very interesting to me because I have never been to New York, so I had to Google a subway map in order to see what they looked like.

After reading this article it reminds me as a designer to make sure the company that’s printing your design is knows exactly how you want each design printed.

I see why the lady couldn’t read the book with Garamond font.
