Helvetica Screening - January 15th

Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which celebrated its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the aesthetic choices behind their use of type. 

Helvetica encompasses the worlds of design, advertising, psychology, and communication, and invites us to take a second look at the thousands of words we see every day.

Come watch it with the officers of AIGA::GVSU in the Cook DeWitt Center on Tuesday January 15th, 2008 at 7pm and again at 9pm.
