Massimo Vignelli is the 'Canon' of design.

If you are not familiar with Massimo Vignelli you should be. He is an old school designer born in Italy and has been working out of New York since the 50's. His mutli-disciplinary studio is entitled 'Vignelli Associates'. Massimo is most famous for bringing the 'Swiss style' graphic design to America, where it became known as the 'international style'. He has worked on some infamous jobs such as creating the NY subway map and signage to corporate identites for Benetton, American Airlines and Knoll.

Being a true supporter of design he has kindly put his book 'The Vignelli Canon' online for free download as a PDF. So, if you are looking for some pearls of wisdom relative to using grids, typography and some insight into the inner workings of a living graphic design genius get downloading.

So often we overlook the wisdom of the old(er). It is too easy to say 'times have changed' and 'that those rules no longer apply'. But there is still much to be learned from those who have devoted their whole life to graphic design and Vignelli is definitely one of those whose ideas and insights are as valid today as they will be tomorrow.
