Graphic design icon Massimo Vignelli died at 83

Massimo Vignelli, a graphic designer who was well regarded by his most notably design of NY subway map has died today at the age of 83. It's a sad day for all graphic nerds. His work is truly a finest example of modern classical era in graphic design.

“Massimo, probably more than anyone else, gets the credit for introducing a European Modernist point of view to American graphic design,” Michael Bierut, a partner at Pentagram, a leading graphic design firm, said.

Watch his past interview below.

200 years of graphic design in one poster

I'm a sucker for history and this very poster made me stop, look and even giggle(how geeky of me!). The poster depicted progression of styles in graphic design in past 200 years. I like how they include subculture like Pulp and Street Art Guerrilla.
