DESCRIPTION:
"Amazing design book!" according to Théo M.. Beautifully displaying the original graphics of the NYC Transit Graphic Standards Manual, this reissue immortalizes one of the most prominent and far reaching design projects to date. I was so happy that the book did this important project justice, displaying it in a high quality and timeless fashion. The Italian cloth wrapped cover is lovely, and the pages are elegantly displayed and true to the original.I. "it's an excellent reproduction. That said" according to VSH. While this is a copy of the original, it's an excellent reproduction. That said, it is a copy and there is some lose of crispness of graphic detail.But it doesn't detract from pleasure of reading this masterpiece of graphic design.. for the geek among us . if you are the kind of person who would be willing to spend this kind of money on this kind of book, you will love it, it is everything you would expect.
The NYCTA Graphics Standards Manual contains scans of Massimo Vignelli and Bob Noorda's (Unimark) modernist masterpiece. The manual describes the design and construction for the iconic NYC subway signs that we still see and use.
