Response to "Helvetica"
From Illustrator Assignment on October 7, 2010:
Helvetica is an independent film about typography, graphic design, and visual forms of media. This movie was very insightful because it opened my eyes to the world of typography around me. It was shocking to see how one font is so commonly used in our culture. Logo's on a building or even waring labels can be so easily lost in translation when not paying attention. The movie also brought to my attention the art world behind graphic design and typography. Each of the artists they showed in the film were very unique and had individual styles that were very appealing. Yet I very rarely see these creations out in public. I feel like they should be used more often to produce a more distinctive environment for the locations they are placed. It would be a good way to express creativity to a vast amount of people.
