Massimo Vignelli shares an amazing wealth of knowledge with us, the graphic design & typographic principles he's developed throughout his career in "The Vignelli Canon".
In several teaching situations I remarked the lack of some basic typographic principles in young designers. I thought that it might be useful to pass some of my professional knowledge around, with the hope of improving their design skills. Creativity needs the support of knowledge to be able to perform at its best.
It's an essential resource for designers of all disciplines and best of all it's available to download in PDF format for free--nice one.

Everything else is ranting, soap boxing, and own horn tooting, whether its political, philosophical, or compensation for something...
Like this little gem "The United States uses a basic letter size (8 1/2 x 11) of ugly proportions, and results in complete chaos with an endless amount of paper sizes. It is a by-product of the culture of free enterprise, competition and waste. Just another example of the misinterpretations of freedom."
What an opportunistic ass horny for a soap box.
