pipes
This is almost like a maze but one that is easy to get in and out of. Still alot like the screen saver.
Vignelli
This reminds me of the pipe screen savers.
it also has the same effect on me as the screen saver it carries my eyes a cross the screen.

Maps


Rhode Island 195 Transport
Great example of information design. This is also easy on the eye well constructed. I normally hate maps because they are so hard to navigate but not the design of these. This is really meant for people that are visiting.
1916 Edward Johnston
London Transport
The design of this is well constructed. It looks more like a design than a map of a London Transport. everything here is easy to read and easy on the eye.

Ripley's


By Anil Adyanthaya
This is like a little modern example of what Ripley did when he first started.
Design by Stern PInball
This is a design for a pinball machine. This reminds me alot more of what i am use to seeing.
The article is right about how the typeface is very noticable. It did not take me a second to know what this design was for.

By Ripley 1939
I never new this was a real artist. I thought it was just a TV show. I remember myself always running home to catch the show. His style of art is very unusiual.

Reading on signs

As we can see when symbolizes such as man and woman are so strong we will always be able to use it as another universal language.
money
REMIXED
restroom in china
This is a little funny. In many ways will have to say with no question asked any one will still say that this is a sign for the ladies rest room. I think that kn ow matter what this icon will always be associated with the rest room.
man/woman
Its crazy how i never really look at these symbol and wonder how are where it came about. It also brings to meaning how we as humans are so programed to where we always respond to images and associate them with out ever thinking about what we are responding to.
