Scale is a mental - you can say that a lounger has scale, a building has scale, or an object has scale, or a page, or whatever if it's just right. A scale is a relationship to the object and the space surrounding it. And that dialogue could be music, or it could be just noise. And that is why it is so important, the sense of scale.
Massimo VignelliSo what is design all about? It [exists to] decrease the amount of vulgarity in the world ... to make the world a better place to be. It doesnโt have to be one style. Weโre not talking about style, weโre talking about quality. Style is tangible, quality is intangible. I am talking about giving to everything that surrounds us a level of quality.
Massimo VignelliGraphic Design is the communication of information in an appropriate visual manner.
Massimo VignelliIf you paint a building shocking pink, that has no scale, it is just a huge mistake, but it's not in the scale of the city to have things like that. You know. So, not only because it's not appropriate, not only because it's offensive to the environment, I mean but among them also because that quantity of that color in the urban scale, is out of scale.
