The thing I liked the most about the booklet by Vignelli was the first thing he said about Semantics, Syntactics, and Pragmatics. He opens by saying, “Semantics, for me, is the search of the meaning of whatever we have to design.” What I took this to mean is that starting …
For starters, before even thinking about the content, I thought the opening of The Vignelli Canon was really well done. It was wonderfully simple (I love that), yet really sharp. Just awesome, and a great start to the booklet. Semantics,… Continue Reading →…

The Vignelli Canon was interesting, even though some of it was outdated. I think the theory behind the method is still good though, even if the technology for making design is different. It is obviously still important to utilize his three aspects (Semantic, Syntactic and Pragmatic) when making a design. …
There were a few things from this book that really stood out to me.
I really liked how he said that every detail is important because the end result is the sum of the details. That is true not only in design, but in everything in life. (Of course) I …
