quote [ In this printed example below (C.41.a.28), the tasks for January-April show a labourer sitting by the fire, pruning trees, and ploughing the fields. Opposite these images, circular diagrams in red and black with an orange orb in the centre handily indicate the number of hours of daylight and darkness in each calendar month. ]

quote [ An overview of Soviet ICBM placements, with elegant glowing orange text on a solid black mass of Russia, reminds me of the Vignelli subway map.
