Reblogged newyorker: “Vignelli’s 1972 map wasn’t just lovely to look at. Its obsessive clarity turns out to be the perfect basis for digital information. It’s more modern looking than any of the maps that followed it. Now that people at the M.T.A. have figured out that this map is good for things other than dresses, why don’t they go the rest of the way, and bring it back as the basis for a more complete interactive map that will be kept live seven days a week?” Paul Goldberger discusses how the M.T.A. brought back Massimo Vignelli to update his famous subway map.

Some exciting news from Rachel in NY. Target (the huge American retailing store) has chosen House Rules as one of their break-out titles for the Spring — placing ‘a nice big order’ — and it will be available in stores after March 24th. If you can’t wait until then, the book can also be pre-ordered online.

House Rules can also be purchased at Borders, Barnes and Nobles, some independent bookstores and, of course, Amazon.

Rachel will be reading at two separate events on April 1st and 7th in NYC. If you would like to attend and for more information please visit her website, www.rachelsontag.com.

“The city that never sleeps needs a nap!”



I discovered Yelo via the Design You Trust blog community. Interestingly Cerium, the chap who posted the image of the reception desk, had chosen it as an image of inspiration. Subsequently, a little bit of digging around revealed an interesting wellness concept — particularly liked the strapline.

A McDonald’s on the corner of 56th and 8th in Manhattan is missing a Ronald — but an aerial view of the area shows him safe and sound lounging on a private rooftop. Williamsboard posters report, “someone who lives in the six-story building next door took advantage of a second floor window that lets them out onto the McDonald’s roof…”
