Do Good Work

Michael Bierut on Massimo Vignelli, who died today at 83:

It was Massimo who taught me one of the simplest things in the world: that if you do good work, you get more good work to do, and conversely bad work brings more bad work. It sounds simple, but it’s remarkable, in a lifetime of pragmatics and compromises, how easy it is to forget: the only way to do good work is simply to do good work. Massimo did good work.

“David Imus worked alone on his map seven days a week for two full years. Nearly 6,000 hours in total.”  And it’s amazing.

I got mine in the mail today and I couldn’t be more pleased. Recommended.
