Il canone Vignelli

Vignelli pissed me off in design school with his absolute declarations, but his adages ring truer the longer I stay in the biz.

Every rule of design put into one book. Broad rules that don't restrict but just define good design. I re-reference it frequently. Easily applicable in many other fields.

Important principles in here. Designers should be able to design everything "from the spoon to the city." I'll be referencing this book for the rest of my life. Similar to Vignelli's designs, he's able to take complex systems and concepts and presents them in clear and concise ways in this incredible Leggi tutto

Where many designers have a way of congesting their message with convoluted jargon, Vignelli cuts out the excess and only preserves the timeless practices of design. His methods are based in simplification, sometimes religiously so, and he is mortified by exercises that are not time-tested. The Cano Leggi tutto

Great concise design book that you can read in less than an hour. Clear ideas about what should be the foundations of mostly visual design. It is dogmatic on some aspects such as typography, but honestly I do like the approach of brushing with broad strokes.

I have learnt a lot from this book. Found it from a course in Interaction Design School, and I think it's totally worth it. The design rules are really concise and easy to understand, follow and use in our own design.

Essencial a qualquer designer!

One of the best designers of all time. Great content from the master himself. Enjoyed this!
