Yesterday i watched the documentary on Helvetica to find out more about the history of the font and the viewpoint of other designers. I have started doing more research on Swiss Graphic design and like the use of the grid for the layout of the design.

This link is a good resource for great swiss style design

Seeing the movie has given me a greater feeling of what the typeface stands for..

Feedback

I need to focus more on carrying my research through to my work. I really like the idea of doing typographic art on one character of the alphabet and celebrating the forms of one character and producing a poster that is beautiful to look at but i was reminded today that this wouldn't fit the brief.

I need to focus the final piece on what Helvetica was created for..what makes it different? What is it known for..the answer is timeless, modern.. ordered, post-war idealism where design was used to re-construct. These early experiment of the 1950's were driven by Swiss graphic design.
