HELVETICA / GARY HUSTWIT



"Helvetica is an independant documentary film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives".
Through the exploration of urban spaces in major cities, and discussion with renowned designers, the movie helps us realize that type is meaningful in many different ways -and especially one that has been used and overused for the last 50 years (by the Beatles, or the American government, or many multinational corporations).

PIERRE DEBUSSCHERE







this is a belgian photographer; he is 23 years old and already shot the cover of Dazed&Confused...i love his images, because they are unexpected, dark with irony, and contribute -i think- to making fashion photography "smarter". also because the first shot up there reminds me of a Bacon painting, i guess. his website.
