If you love to make complex things simple and attractive.\u00a0 If you love the idea of ice cream cones for the pure reason that they are both form and function.\u00a0 If you think a driveway might better be called a parkway… then you should watch this movie!<\/p>\n

I just got done watching Helvetica – The Movie<\/a> and I can’t say enough great things. It’s an elegant discussion of simple\/ clear graphic design.\u00a0 It stresses the importance of looking through to the space that isn’t there, as well as the difficulty of how to make a “high heeled guchi” font vs. “a torn sneaker” or a “charlie parker jazz song” really sing.<\/p>\n

In a walk through the city, it brings to life the messages that we are shown daily and the emotion that is formed as we interpret and own those forms.\u00a0 It discusses the responsibility of the designer to give voice and message to artifacts.\u00a0 It is inspiring.\u00a0 And delightful to watch.<\/p>\n

Helvetica, the movie.\u00a0 Thumbs up.<\/p>\n
