Dear Students,
Please click the link below to explore a great piece of both NYC and Graphic Design History.
Behold, The NYC Transit Authority Graphics Standard Manual
https://daringfawnyball.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/nyctamanual.pdf
Designed by Massimo Vignelli and Bob Noorda, Unimark, 1970
I would love to both hear your reactions and feedback in class tonight 9/25 as well as in the comments section below! Each student will leave a series of comments (during our class session) if you are not in class you are required to participate this week from outside of class.
**after you “post” your comment I will have to manually approve it – you may not see it show up right away.
Some Questions to ponder and react to:
- What is your general feedback on the manual? Do you like it? Dislike it? Please Explain. Do you find it to be well designed, illustrated and clear in its application?
2. The manual was published in 1970. Does it still hold up for today’s world?
3. What is missing or should be added for today’s world of NYC Transit?
4. What additional questions are you left with?
