Helvetica Movie

Before I watched Helvetica I never realized how frequent the font was used. After watching the movie, I realized that the Font Helvetica was used in so many advertisements and businesses. For example they flashed through New York City and almost every or every other sign or type, was done in Helvetica. It is such a simple and sophisticated font that works well with the style of designing today. In the movie, one speaker made a very interesting comment on graphic designers, he said that graphic designers are basically in charge of illustrating and interpreting the way people picture concepts or images in their mind, because they are in charge of designing what people visualize. Those are not his exact words, but I just liked the way he explained a graphic designer's job and importance. Overall, Helvetica was a very interesting movie on design that had a lot of speakers with excellent points and thoughts for the design world.
