Pentagram Papers 34: Monografías

(Click image for larger view)

Michael Bierut and his team have designed the latest Pentagram Paper, “Monografías: Information Design for the Mexican Schoolroom,” about the illustrated learning aids popular in Mexico. Armin Vit of Speak Up (and Pentagram) contributes an introduction about his own youthful monografía mania: “That evening, walking to the papelería with my mom I was about to discover monografías for the first time. I would then use them every year from third grade to high school and for every class from biology to world history—some I used so much, I had them memorized.”

Join us for a launch party for the paper tonight from 7 to 9 pm at Under the Volcano, 12 East 36th St., New York City.
