When you go to design school, the teachers and mentors always talk about timeless designs, things that will never get old. I remember my first reaction, I thought that if you couldn't keep up with the trends, you couldn't make it as a designer now a days. Modernism at the time was so far beyond my comprehension.

Vignelli is the perfect example to the concept that I couldn't understand back then. How can something designed in the 70's and 80's could look so fresh, so new. Something that if it was printed right now in a brand new sheet of paper, could fool you into thinking that it was designed yesterday, and could have the same effect 20 years from now.

Vignelli is modernism.
