Project Research: Massimo Vignelli

Massimo Vignelli's designed this map of the New York subway system in 1972, I personally think it is a stunning and vibrant piece of design which not only informs, it also is eye catching and appealing to look at. 

Admittedly the design does look highly complex, but in respect, it's a map of the New york subway which spans over 656 miles, not a simple job to create a map for this goliath transport system. 

Our influence:

We took influence from Vignelli's design in the form of the line and dot method that he makes use of, the dots representing the stops in the subway. 

I particularly love the choice of colours in this map, and think it is the source of the appeal.
