With the re-design of my identity, my blog’s theme and a few logo design projects I’ve started paying a little more attention to typography than I am used to. This is of course a positive thing as typography plays an enormous role in Graphic design & visual communication. I’ve also recently watched the Helvetica Film, an inspiring documentary about the history of one of the world’s most popular and influential typefaces.

Typography is an area of design I plan to spend a little extra time focusing on and hunting around online for some inspiration I came across this cool little introductory video which gives us an in-a-nutshell explanation of what typography is. Enjoy

Interesting film, although I had to fight to get to it.
You havn’t linked to the website properly, you forgot the “http://”.
Hi Ptah, yeah I just realised, the plugin I’m needed to ID but I used the url instead. Just fixed it, nice to know someone’s looking out for me.
I’ve been playing around with plugins for posts, the other one used on this post is one which allows you to search for relevent images for a specific post and place them in the post. Can you see the photo? I’m getting an image not available blank image at the moment.
yeah I’m getting that now too. The original photo use to be available though.. weird.
