Objectified


Thanks to a Swiss Miss posting I bought tickets for Gary Hustwit's Objectified! Only showing in NYC for one night! Me lady and I made a date of it! The movie was pretty solid. I will say, "Helvetica" had more personality and was a bit funnier. But how funny is graphic design, really? Graphic Designers in general are a bit more out there but that's the nature of design itself. Visually communicating with the culture, while industrial designers are charged to create objects that function with culture. It's a similar process the latter seems a bit more introverted. Uh Yeah. Anyways, I dug on the movie! It started out with a bang, then dragged and then got its' second wind. Strong finish! I give this movie two nods from the pulpit.
