  • The Vignelli Canon

    Eye catching

    What stood out for me within this booklet was Massimo’s approach to problem solving. His approach targets perspectives based on facts and coherence. Within the booklet its evident that problem solving comes from intellectual processing instead of trends or any bias. The booklet is not as decorative and instead seems to have a lot of effort sourced to structure and precise information while making it easy to consume. I thought the descriptions used to describe the different artforms was very poetic and the simple pictures as example emphasized the information more than multiple images. I feel like that was intentional so I can search for the details described rather it handed to me.

    What was Informative?

    The most informative part of this booklet was the description how the grid system and how it can be used universally. The grid is designed to organize complex information and it is seen as an universal language. The grid can be used to categorize information into sub-sections to help readers choose which information they want to intake. Grids can also reduce visual noise to separate clutter from all navigation pathways. I feel using the grid as a basis whilst explaining other styles makes all information easier to process.

    Can I apply this?

    I plan to use this structure to add more typographic structure as when I explain information or display my creative processes, its normally cluttered. I aim to explain information more precisely so consumers can understand what I’m explaining properly. I also plan to use white space more intentionally to create a design that catches the eye of the reader whilst not taking away from what’s on screen. Lastly, I want to have writing with a more logical flow to reduce the amount of words with the same type of information to reduce an overload for the reader.

    Why Do I Want This House?

    Overall Ideals

    For a house I have always dreamt of something spacey and modern. Whilst having that desire, I want something compact that doesn’t give a lot of excess space. A waste of space is a waste of money in my opinion so something that maximizes my homes value makes me secure in my housing choice. I also don’t plan on living with many people besides one or two with maybe some guest space.

    Interior Design

    For the inside design, I want something modern looking that’s simple to prevent visual clutter and room to add decorations that doesn’t rely on the home atmosphere. For color, I would like to stick to brown, white, beige, and black to be consistent with the simple theme. Each space should have simple layering, but also symmetrical design making everything look uniform. I would like for all spaces such as closets and cabinets to be even as i would like all space to be evenly distributed.

    Neighborhood enviorment

    For the neighborhood, I would like a secluded area with a lot of community. I would like the community to be close but with space for individual enjoyment as when I would like to be removed from being around my neighbors, I can feel at home. Vice Versa when I want to visit or communicate with my neighbors their easily accessible. I also would prefer the neighborhood to be uniform in spacing but each house has a bit of individuality.

    Location and reasoning

    For overall space I would like a roof or outside space such as a patio accessible from within the home. Regarding a lawn, if possible I would like a small minimized lawn to prevent heavy maintenance but a visual pleaser for visitors and people walking by. Having a 1 car garage with a driveway will be nice as more than that I deem unnecessary. Finally, I would like my location to be a reasonable distance from grocery and other stores so my needs are as accessible as possible. The purpose for wanting all of these things is to have a comfortable home without having any unnecessary features that may add extra delay in my day to day life.
