			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-50" title="photo211" src="http://myyellows.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/photo211.jpg?w=267&#038;h=300" alt="photo211" width="267" height="300" />Un ulteriore elemento si aggiunge, all&#8217;imponente programma di visual identity avviato qualche anno fa per il famoso quotidiano fondato nel 1821 a Manchester. Con il trasferimento nella nuova sede di King place infatti, il Guardian ha affidato al blasonato studio <a href="http://www.cartlidgelevene.co.uk/" target="_blank">Cartlidge Levene</a> la realizzazione della segnaletica interna ai vari uffici. Il <a href="http://www.christianschwartz.com/guardian.shtml" target="_blank">carattere</a> utilizzato non poteva che essere quello progettato da Paul Barnes and Christian Schwartz per il quotidiano in occasione del redesign della testata avviato nel 2004. L&#8217;intervento è ridotto all&#8217;essenziale, nessuna struttura pesante per ospitare le informazioni, ma pitture murali, vetrofanie e addirittura serigrafia su un <em>&#8220;povero&#8221;</em> cartone ondulato. L&#8217;effetto d&#8217;insieme è di forte impatto ma allo stesso tempo fresco e leggero.<br />
Con questo ulteriore intervento sulla propria identità, il Guardian si conferma come una delle testate più sensibili alle problematiche del design e della coprporate identity, come forse solo gli inglesi sanno esserlo.</p>
<p>Maggiori dettagli e foto dell&#8217;intervento le trovate sul blog di <a title="Mark Porter blog" href="http://www.markporter.com/notebook/?p=186" target="_blank">Mark Porter</a> il direttore creativo del Guardian.</p>

		<description><![CDATA["I love systems and despise happenstance.
I love ambiguity because, for me, ambiguity means plurality of meanings. I love contradiction
because it keeps things moving, preventing them from assuming a frozen meaning, or becoming a monument to immobility.
As much as I love things in flux, I love them within a frame of reference - a consistent reassurance that at least and at last I am the one responsible for every detail.
And that is why I love Design."
Massimo Vignelli<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=myyellows.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6057928&amp;post=11&amp;subd=myyellows&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.vignelli.com/canon.pdf"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29" title="vignelli_canon3" src="http://myyellows.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/vignelli_canon3.png?w=215&#038;h=300" alt="vignelli_canon3" width="215" height="300" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I love systems and despise happenstance.<br />
I love ambiguity because, for me, ambiguity means plurality of meanings. I love contradiction<br />
because it keeps things moving, preventing them from assuming a frozen meaning, or becoming a monument to immobility.<br />
As much as I love things in flux, I love them within a frame of reference &#8211; a consistent reassurance that at least and at last I am the one responsible for every detail.<br />
And that is why I love Design.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Con immenso piacere scopro questa <a title="The Vignelli canon pdf book" href="http://www.vignelli.com/canon.pdf" target="_blank">breve guida</a> del maestro <a title="Vignelli on wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massimo_Vignelli" target="_blank">Massimo Vignelli</a>. 96 pagine in formato PDF e scaricabile direttamente dal sito <a title="Vignelli Associates site" href="http://www.vignelli.com/" target="_blank">vignelli.com</a>. Il titolo lo lascia ben intendere: si parla del mestiere di grafico (o designer che dir si voglia!), come appunto il Nostro lo ha inteso nel corso del suo lungo e brillante percorso professionale. Suddiviso in due parti, <em>The Intangibles, </em>dove vengono affrontati argomenti più teorici<em> </em> <em>e The Tangibles </em>dove al contrario i temi sono quelli più strettamente pratico/tecnici<em>, </em> il libro esamina in modo asciutto ed estremamente chiaro le principali problematiche relative al progetto.<br />
Imperdibile!</p>
<p>Qui Vignelli torna, inevitabilmente, sulla sua idea di &#8220;cultural pollution&#8221; in riferimento alla tipografia e all&#8217;esplosione che questa ha avuto, in termini di caratteri prodotti, con l&#8217;avvento dell&#8217;era digitale. Si ricordi la critica rivolta alla rivista Emigre e alla sua produzione nel campo del type design!<br />
Ebbene, per chi volesse approfondire in termini teorici l&#8217;argomento,  è interessante leggere anche quanto scrive <a title="biografia di Michael Bierut " href="http://designobserver.com/info/mbierut.html" target="_blank">Michael Bierut</a> &#8211; illustre discepolo di Vignelli &#8211; in un suo recente articolo,<em> </em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1568986998/designobserver-20/202-1741740-0737434" target="_blank"><em>Seventy-nine Short Essays on Design</em></a>, (il titolo è anche quello del suo ultimo <a title="79 Short Essays on Design" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1568986998/designobserver-20/202-1741740-0737434" target="_blank">libro</a>) dedicato appunto ai caratteri e alle convizioni maturate sul loro utilizzo anche alla luce della sua esperienza nello studio di Vignelli. <a title="Storie di carattere 1" href="http://sdz.aiap.it/notizie/8242" target="_blank">L&#8217;articolo</a> originariamente apparso su Design observer lo si può trovare, tradotto in italiano, su SocialDesignZine.</p>
<p>Per chiudere: le due differenti visioni sulla tipografia obbligano ad una riflessione, che <a title="Stefano Lionetti website" href="http://www.loveleft.com/" target="_blank">Stefano Lionetti</a> brillantemente sintetizza in <a title="Lazydog" href="http://www.lazydog.it/download/lazydog_web.zip" target="_blank"><em>L<span class="style1">azydog</span></em></a> tesi sulla cultura del type design in Italia e che cito testualmente:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Sfogliando libri come ad esempio Helvetica &#8211; Hommage to a typeface si rimane sicuramente affascinati dalla<br />
incredibile mole di produzione grafica con tale font, e questo dimostra come un carattere disegnato<br />
ad arte possa continuare a vivere per decenni senza perdere smalto, al contrario di alcuni caratteri<br />
effimeri che non passano una stagione. Allo stesso tempo però ci si chiede se tutto questo Helvetica sia<br />
veramente la soluzione migliore per ogni singolo progetto realizzato, se avere centinaia di logotipi in<br />
Helvetica non generi confusione di identità&#8230; insomma se non ci sia un’alternativa altrettanto valida.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
