BIG Typography Showcase
I love this article by Smash Magazine about sites that use large typography. I personally love big bold type. It creates large positive and negative spaces that transform into shapes of their own. Working with large type becomes more than just setting a block of copy at 12 points. It becomes the design.

Great article by New York Magazine on Massimo and Lella Vignelli and their contributions to the world of design. I own an original copy of the 1972 NYC subway map designed by Massimo and I must say it is one of the most well designed pieces I’ve ever seen. It’s functional and beautiful all at once unlike the current map.
In designing the logo for Bloomingdale’s, for instance, they knew they had to deal with a lot of circular shapes: o’s, a B, a d. So they stripped the “feet??? off the letters, and made curves the logo’s main asset.

Beautiful poster by Dan Reisinger done in the late 70’s which was featured in an old issue of Graphis magazine. I wish designers would still do work like this.
