Lance Wyman is among America’s greatest-ever graphic designers, and his fingerprints are all over any number of American cities.
Wyman’s style is instantly recognizable – simple, bold and clever. Wyman often works in wayfaring, and his signs and instructions to viewers often use simple, geometric shapes to get the job done, often incorporating a playfulness as well. His approach has made his work timeless. In 2011, when the government of the District of Columbia wanted their metro map updated, they went right back to Wyman, who had crafted the original design for the system about 40 years earlier.
