me studio

i got hold of a copy of the ‘helvetica movie’ dvd last week and i’ve been watching some of the ‘extras’ featuring interviews with a lot of the big name designers who took part, some of them are worth a look and it’s of particular interest to note which people are only interested in talking about the mechanics of being a designer compared to people like massimo vignelli who always sees the cultural implications of his work in a broader context and seems like a good bloke to me

one of the big names who i really miss in the film (sadly) is ‘tibor kalman’, he would have probably made a great contribution on this particular subject….
