Typographic Mensa
December 30th, 2007
Information design is the crux of modern society. Edward Tufte has given us visual meaning to words. Massimo Vignelli translated the New York Subways for even it’s most stoned patrons. Harry Beck also translated one of the most complex information systems almost a century ago in what is now a timeless piece of art. When I was looking tonight at the A to Zed guide to London and trying to figure out where I was plopping down in Londontown for the first time. I was blown away by such a brilliant mess of type.
