Oh that Massimo...

This was a response to a Massimo Vignelli lecture at FIT in November of 2006. Vignelli is a staunch modernist, who called the post modernist movement a "disease." So in response, I took apart his mission statement, which says "I like design to be semantically correct, syntactically consistent, and pragmatically understandable. I like it to be visually powerful, intellectually elegant, and above all, timeless."
