Objectified and Helvetica




Now that I have time to myself, I've been keeping my mind stylized. Yes, stylized! Helvetica: Independent Film by Gary Hustwit is a must see film for people who are into design, history, language, marketing/advertising or peps like me, who just appreciate visual arts. Gotta love Apple iTunes and their recommendations: "others who bought this film also purchased" - Objectified: Documentary Film also by Gary Hustwit; its like a media Genius! If you enjoy watching Helvetica, you will definitely be engaged by Objectified. Both films will open your mind to the philosophy of engineers/designers. What's really sweet is you don't have to purchase to own these films, they are available for rent for $2.99 each on Apple iTunes. So get yourself a venti iced sugar-free cinnamon dolce soy latte from Starbucks, put on your thinking caps and enjoy!
