The movie Helvetica was about the font Helvetica, obviously. People that talked about it were called typographers (I never knew there was such a thing until I saw the movie.) The movie really made me realize that the font Helvetica IS really everywhere. Schools, on signs on the streets, on store windows at the mall, in your house, on your computer, just everywhere. From the movie, they said corporate businesses use it as well- but why do they? Is it because Helvetica is cheap to use? Why isn't anyone taking the time to do something new-instead of being cliche all the time? People over time have begun to believe that using Helvetica is formal- it makes pictures, signs, etc look more clean cut...and I do think that's true because it makes everything readable. The font I am using to type this blog is HELVETICA. Helvetica also makes things look boring, so why are people so interested in using Helvetica? I think people just don't want to take the time to be creative and use their imagination to make something more interesting.
About Me
- Jenny
- Photography has always fasinated me. From all the editing and affects you can do to the picture, to the thousands of ways you can creatively snap a photo, it's all been simply fasinating to me. When I was younger, I'd always sit on the computer for hours and search for different types of pictures on photobucket.com, and from what I've seen, I've always wondered what software they used to make those pictures so amazing and beautiful to look at. I've also imagined myself as being a photographer. I just would love to capture an image or scene that I saw and share it with the world through my lens. I currently have no photographers that are my favorite, but I bet I will find one throughout the course of this class. I am going to love to be able to use my creativity to the best of my ability and to share it with the class.
