Vignelli Archive
Planting seeds for better patient care
Overview
The Vignelli Center for Design Research is looking to redesign its digital archives for Massimo Vignelli and Lella Vignelli’s work. The focus of their archives and site is to educate users by making Vignelli’s designs more accessible to designers and students all over so that they don’t have to visit the archive in person which can cost money and time.
Problems
The current Vignelli Archive website faces several user experience and design challenges.
- Non-intuitive navigation
- Absence of back buttons
- Redundant information
- Ambiguous header imagery
- Text Overlapping Image
- Incongruence with the Vignelli’s Aesthetic
Project Goal
Our goal was to redesign the digital archives into an app that is more intuitive and user friendly, and congruent with the aesthetic of Massimo Vignelli.
Solution
A redesign of the Vignelli Archive app can address its current UX/UI issues. By implementing intuitive navigation with clear pathways and back buttons, users can seamlessly explore the archive. Eliminating redundant content and ensuring text does not overlap images will enhance content clarity and visual appeal. Incorporating distinctive header imagery that aligns with the archive’s purpose, coupled with a design that reflects Vignelli’s iconic style, will create a cohesive and user-friendly experience that honors his design legacy.
