Here is a great example of a beautiful design that didn’t meet, or maybe outright ignored, its real-world objectives. Massimo Vignelli’s New York City Subway map of 1972 is as beautiful and thoughtful as it is ignorant. Central Park as a square? Sure, why not. But hey, when your name is Massimo and you have photos like this floating around, you can do whatever the hell you want.
