06Jun08

This flyer was allegedly given out at the Cannes Film Festival to promote the new Oliver Stone biopic of George W. Bush.

Design Films and Typeradio

06Nov06

Watch films on designers such as Milton Glaser (that’s him above) and Stefan Sagmeister at the Hillman Curtis site. Download podcasts of interviews with typographers over at Typeradio. My suggestions for listening would be Tobias Frere-Jones, Jonathon Hoefler, Anton Beeke, Gert Dunbar and Erik Spiekerman.

Cool little animation made with the graphics used in airport signs. The film is part of the Portable Film Festival, which is an international festival of short films just for portable devices. Sony PSPs, iPod videos, 3G phones, laptop screens, etc.
