My Designer/Artist’s eye thrills at the strong visuals of signage – old and new – graphic elements and street art that I find in Milan and beyond. Whether polished, “high design”, antique lettering, or fresh-and-funky, it excites my brain and inspires me. I swoon over long-ago, hand-painted typography when I find it. Am stirred by powerful messaging. And am amused by juxtapositions and contrasts. These elements are personal draws that bring me back to Milan.
