It’s Manuals Monday!

Manuals Monday is back! Most Mondays we feature an excerpt from a graphics standards manual from the archives.

Today’s manual features Massimo Vignelli’s sketched mockup draft for the Washington DC Metro graphics program recently discovered in the archives.

Here is the project described in the Vignellis’ own words from our design: Vignelli exhibition label:

“Washington MetroTransportation Graphic Program1968The architect of the Washington Metro is Harry Weese. When he asked us to design the signage for his majestic subway stations, he specified that he did not want anything to be attached to the walls or to interfere with the architectural statement, so we decided to make use of some freestanding outdoor pylons inside the station platforms: one element only, at the point of need, to carry all the required information. The whole system was so well designed that there was very little need for graphics. However, someone finally found a way to clutter it with redundant signs. Tremendous discipline is required to implement and protect a mass-transportation sign system, and very few cities seem to have the ability to overcome a laissez-faire attitude.”

We have shared other DC Metro artifacts from the archives: https://vignellicenter.tumblr.com/search/wmata

worf is the best because he sucks so much and michael dorne just gives like perfect line deliveries 11 times out of 10. so it’s like he sucks in immaculate, loving detail, like michelangelo freeing a guy who’s kind of a jerk from the marble

Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but “Mom’s” probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened every day and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breath in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.

"Data, in your interactions with 21st century internet culture, have you discovered a way to improve the warp drive?"

"I have, sir. It involves synthesizing a new form of dilithium crystals into a new lattice structure. However, it will require the aid of an individual from that period whose history and research procedures may be considered 'unorthodox' by Starfleet standards."

"How 'unorthodox' exactly, data?"

"...So let me get this straight. After all of the manipulation, back-stabbing, and other horrible things you've accused me of over these past few months, you just think you can waltz on back here and ask for my help?"

"Mr. White, you said it yourself when we first met. 'We need to cook...'"

"...bitch."
