The Vignelli Canon subway map

THE VIGNELLI CANON

In January 1972, Massimo Vignelli redesigned the NYC subway map, which is recognised as an iconic modern poster design; however, the MTA deemed the map flawed due to its placement of geographical elements. 

In 2009 I recreated the subway map using Vignelli's fundamental design principles, as written about in his book, The Vignelli Canon.
