Helvetica

If you haven't heard about the film on the type Helvetica, now you have.

According to the film's website, screenings are still taking place through the rest of the year. Right now, you can preorder the DVD for a mere $20 and get it before it releases to retail.

It is releasing this year because this marks the 50th year of Helvetica in use.

So.

Do you love Helvetica
or
do you hate Helvetica?

p.s. - how well do you do in the test to tell the difference between Helvetica and Arial?

Design Gangsta Video

This video is absolutely hilarious. My friend shared it with me, and now I will share it with you.



I hope I can be the Next Design Gangsta.

New Work

Ok, so it's been a while since I've posted... Life sometimes gets in the way of even things we hold dear.

Currently, I am beginning a project through Dreamweaver for my digital multimedia class. I am obsessed with the idea from a book I recently purchased called "The Serif Fairy" by Rene Seigfried. The entire book is illustrated with letters. I love, love, love it.

So, I am creating a motion graphics site using the same concept. I have spent quite a lot of time so far creating my own ways of combining letters to represent other objects.

You shall be informed when it is complete. (A rough storyboard is the only piece existing outside of my mind as of yet.)
