A Quote by Massimo Vignelli

The scale relates to everything. The thickness of a pipe, the thickness of a leg of the furniture. Even color could have a scale. — © Massimo Vignelli
The scale relates to everything. The thickness of a pipe, the thickness of a leg of the furniture. Even color could have a scale.
When you look at the Earth's horizon and see the thickness of the atmosphere, it's not even the thickness of an orange peel.
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.
If 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.
Make sure furniture decor has similar scale. It's all about scale, proportion, measuring, being conscious of the overall plan.
'Ides of March' I did for scale - scale as a director, scale as an actor, scale as a writer.
Color is a big part of what I do. It's like music. There are only so many notes in the scale, but there are endless permutations; there's no limit to the number. Color on the walls or furniture can reflect back and distort the reality of the true colors of lipsticks and eye shadow.
Scale is of prime importance and I think that oversized scale is better than undersized scale.
Everything that can be found in the universe on a large scale is reflected in a human being on a small scale.
The paradox of knowledge is not confined to the small, atomic scale; on the contrary, it is as cogent on the scale of man, and even of the stars.
Great businesses can be built on scale. I think Amazon has built a phenomenal commerce business largely on scale. Their network effect isn't obvious to me, but boy, have they used scale effectively.
The truth is that painting is all about scale; you use scale to create experience. A lot of artists have lost that ability. They don't even know that's something they should be doing.
I had this idea... I wanted the sound to sing and have that thickness but yet still have an edge so that it could articulate. So my dad and I designed the guitar... the one that was made from an old fireplace.
I think the secret of the world lies in the C major scale. The universe opens its doors when a major scale is played. There's stuff going on in a major scale that is a direct connection to divine, universal hugeness.
My socks DO match. They're the same thickness.
Don't judge a book by its thickness either.
It's so easy to practice out of context. For example, if you're learning a scale, you take that scale and you sit in your room and you go up and down the fretboard, over and over. You've gotta do that, because you need to get that scale working. But you have to keep in mind that that's not the finished product. That's the starting point.
