Making of a manual
Every Monday we share an excerpt from a graphic standards manual from the archives. This past Monday we shared the Texfi (textile company) manual.
See the entire final manual here: http://vignellicenter.tumblr.com/post/172770583707/vignelli-manualsmonday-texfi
We just discovered more of the design process material including pencil sketches by Massimo Vignelli and couldn’t wait to share them! Looks like there were some additional pages that didn’t make the cut in the final manual. We are particularly fond of the logo breakdown line-by-line and the patch for their uniforms!
There is much, much more about this project in the archives, so stay tuned to see more of the making of the Texfi corporate identity!
