The great
Louise Fili has designed a subway poster for the
NYC subway system for the
School of Visual Arts. The posters draws upon the antique signage still present in the subway system, embedded into the mosaic tiling. While the signage has been
totally updated through the years, the original mosaic tiling remains intact in most cases.
Fili was able to create something as timeless and beautiful as the original signage, with a superb literary reference as well. Beautiful.
