I have been wanting to continue on with my “Helveti…” series of images based upon the font Helvetica. Instead of doing a new one, I thought that the original “Helveticar” could have done with a bit of a tidy up so here it is. I have added better details and what not, but I am still thinking of doing other small bits to it…
Looking through my usual trail of internet sites this morning I found this video. Called AFOL: A Blocumentary, it is about “Adult Fans of Lego” in the Pacific North West of America. It is a strange find I know but it shows that some objects or in this case a toy, is capable of being appealing to those of all ages and that some people never really let go of what interested them as a child. Whilst most people would think this to be an uninteresting subject and consider the people involved in the documentary to perhaps grow up, you can’t take away what essentially makes them happy.
Another thing to note about this half hour documentary is that it feels very similar to that in style of Objectified and Helvetica.
The second in my series of Helveti…
The Helveticat
A work in progress of something I am doing for a bit of fun. Helveticar, the letter ‘h’ in the font helvetica as a car. I have a number of others I might do including Helveticat, helveticamera and helveticaserole.
So, my possibly unnatural obsession with fonts has led me down this path (if you didn’t know I liked fonts before, then you do now). I found this image or chart created by Julian Hansen, which features 50 of the top 100 fonts at FontShop. If I am ever in any doubt about which font I need to use for any particular application, then I know where to look.
Seriously though, if you need to use comic sans, then please… go away.
