Helvetica

Just watched this documentary on Helvetica on Netflix. NYC subway signs? Helvetica. Graphics from The Office? Helvetica. American Apparel, American Airlines, and Target? Helvetica.

Helvetica gets around.

Next up director Gary Hustwit is making a film called Urbanized, a film about Urban design and its impacts.

A Feist-y film

Check out Look at What the Light Did Now, a new documentary that follows Feist's musical career, collaborations, and the artistry involved.

I saw her in concert not so recently when she played McCarren park pool and later in Northampton, MA and was fascinated by the different puppertry/ light techniques used to enhance the already dream-like atmosphere. No one puts on a show quite like Feist. My only regret is that the screenings of the film are primarily in Canada, damn them. Maybe when it comes out on DVD?
