Adove Live & Neville Brody keynote

I went to Adobe Live! yesterday (June 6th) at the Business Design Centre in London and I really enjoyed it.

At 10:30 Neville Brody started his hour long talk in the main auditorium. The room was so full Adobe staff had to open another conference room next door to the main room and set up a live video feed, crazy!

It was a great talk anyway. Neville showed us his work, talked about the 'London College of Identity Crisis', his political views, his love for Freehand (cringe worthy stuff with Adobe officials looking a bit pee'd) and his hate for the new Olympic Logo. He said it looks like Lisa Simpson giving Bart a blow job!



After that I went to the Computer Arts stand and obtained the June issue and picked up some CA stickers and postcards.

Then I nipped over to the Epson & HP stands to get some of my designs printed to A3.

Helvetica Film 2007

2007 sees the release of the film Helvetica.

"Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type."

Here are some short video clips from the film featuring: Experimental Jetset, Erik Spiekermann, Rick Poynor, Wim Crouwel, & Neville Brody:
