I found the movie Helvetica to be long but actually quiet interesting. I never resized that the font Helvetica was everywhere. I feel as if I will be much more aware of it now thanks to the movie. Even on my way home yesterday I saw how many signs were written in helvetica. It was funny how excited or worked up some of the people got about the font, I dont think I will ever be that excited about a font. However I like the font helvetica more after watching the movie because I see how much of a statement it can make when done right. I used to think that helvetica was just a super boring basic font. I found the movie to be interesting It was just a little bit to long.  

What is Graphic Design?

         When I think of graphic design I think of fonts, text, posters, adds, logos, brands, advertising. I think of lot of "graphic design" happens on the computer using photoshop and other programs. In this class I want to be able to learn more about photoshop because right now I only know the basics. One thing that I really like about a lot of graphic design is that mistakes are not as noticeable than when you do a drawing a smudge the pencil everywhere...I feel as if graphic design is more "clean?" You see graphic design all over the world from big advertisements in NYC to little newsprint cartoons.
