Helvetica & Objectified (Films)

The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits...

Mad Men Doing Wonderful Art.
Nobody thought the small cable network AMC would come up with anything as fantastic as ‘Mad Men’ but they did and now starting its fifth season in March its promotional posters have received a lot of media attention, the first being that it resembles ‘the falling man’ from 9/11. While subway posters in New York City have been guerrilla remixed.

The Art Director.
“You can learn art direction two ways: First by watching, then by making mistakes.”

Like our fingerprints no one's handwriting is...
Everybody remembers the first few times they begin to write. The hours spent practising drawing each letter over and over to that required ‘neat’ standard.
