Think Deeper:

After watching the documentary Helvetica:The Movie, I’ve been noticing graphic design in a whole new way. Though my eyes are young, I can’t offer much critique to a lot of signs. But, my eyes are still instantly drawn to signs. It’s very similar to skateboarding, after learning about grinding down a handrail you’ll never look at one the same way again. Even if I can’t physically grind down the rail,  I’m imagining it. It is the same with Graphic Design.
