One of the most beautifully designed brochures you probably got your hands on this summer was handed to you by a park ranger.  I hope that all of this attention to the National Parks will also call attention to one of the greatest design systems in our national design history - just think - federally regulated design for the people. It happened here -- with the help of Massimo Vignelli who created the Unigrid Black Band look and design system. The unigrid system is a completely customizable brochure layout system that allows each park flexibility while maintaining a sharp authoritative and educational presentation.

Check out these fuzzy pics (sorry - please donate larger scanner) and then read the article from @ISSUE magazine below.

I have started to post some National Park Brochures from my own collection here. Feel free to send in some pictures of yours! Together, we are all golden eagles.
