I thought that the Helvetica movie was good, but boring. I relly only payed attention when i saw the guy with the mellenium falcon in his room. However, the thing that suprised me the most was that there is a big controversy on how to use the Hevvetica font, people getting mad at eachother. I can use fonts more effectivly by using fonts to envoke feelings in people. I like the windings fonts becasue no one can read them.

from all of the research that i have done i have found that it does matter on the type of font you use, like i personally find that a readable yet interesting looking font such as Comic sans which is the look of comic book lettering. it is readable yet creative with smoothe strokes. i will use this new information on fonts to better my projects with new subconsience response form people

The Helvetica movie was hilarious. I get that people are passionate about what they do and how important it is for advertisers to display their media, but I can't see a typefont being so important to me in my life. Yes, we use Helvetica everywhere, but I don't see how it has "life" in it. lol.

From all the research i have done on fonts, it surprised me that there are so many different variations of one typeface! I learned that certain types are used for certaion occasions. I realized that many different types of fonts have a different impact on the message you are trying to convey. My favorite font is Papyrus.

I have been surprised at how many fonts I have never seen before. It is amazing how many there really are. I can use fonts in my designs by trying to express my emotions. My favorite font is courier because it has the old look to it becasue it was used in typewriters.

One of my favorite fonts that iv'e always loved is definitely Comic Sans! Its just really interesting to me. Typography has been extremely surprising, i had no idea that each font had its own history of why it was made and what it says about someone. You can use fonts affectively, by using certain types of fonts for different things (: !!!
