Hasta La Creative!

I hadn’t realized I hadn’t posted anything about Helvetica: The Film, the movie about Helvetica, the typography.
 
I heard of it being made over a year ago, and since then I’ve been eagorly waiting to see it.
 
In the end the veredict is only one: It was worth the wait.
 
The documentary is excellent. Its editing is exceptional, the interviewed amazing, and the typography a modern classic.
 
From the testimonies of design geniuses such as Massimo Vignelli, Matthew Carter, David Carson, Paula Scher, Stefan Sagmeister and Eric Spiekermann among various others, Helvetica: The Film is a first class visual testimony that should without a doubt be seen by every graphic designer around the world. In fact I believe it should be being showcased in all design schools all over the globe. So if there happens to be any school directors passing by here, please try to show it. Your students will be grateful.
 
The best of all the documentary, in my opinion, is that it really manages to give Helvetica its well deserved protagonism, but at the same time gives an enormous amount of life advice, first to graphic designers, but really to any person who watches it.
 
This isn’t only a documentary about a typeface. It’s a graphic design guide written by the beautiful Helvetica.
 
And of course, not to leave you hanging. Here’s the full documentary.

Been obsessed with waves and geometrical shapes for quite some time now, and it seems like Tim Jarvis knows a thing or two about those things.
