Response: Helvetica

Yesterday in class we got to watch Helvetica, the movie. I had never gotten to see the movie the whole way through so I was really excited to watch it in class and I really enjoyed it. I loved getting to see all the type designers talk about their perspectives and even though I knew Helvetica was all over the place, I did not realize quite how far its expanse reached. Even though I think Helvetica is sometimes overused, it is a beautiful typeface and perfect for so many different expressions.

In class we also talked about how magazines from past decades still influence magazines today. I chose Vogue in the 50s for my historical design paper and keynote presentation so I think I'll have a good bit to show.
