Here are two cool documentaries about design. Both from the same director, Gary Hustwit.
Helvetica is his first film. It covers typography, graphic design and global visual culture. As the name of the film says, the 50-year old typeface Helvetica is the star of a larger conversation about how type affects our lives.
Here's a link to the trailer and the website.
Objectified, his second film, is about industrial design and the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It is hitting selected theaters as I write this.
