Helvetica
Helvetica is a type face that was created just like any other but it stands out to most of us on an everyday basis because it is the typeface that many of us recognize when we do basic things. Even in other countries it is used as a way of communication. Without Helvetica we would be using something else that most likely wouldn’t stand out to us as much. If the type changed a lot of us artists would notice but would the world notice?
A Remix Manifesto
This video is not only informative but it’s also kind of scary, it goes along the lines of “fighting the man”. Where it may seem to take different aspects of life and it justifies in a way that everyone does it, it’s still trying to help people realize that it is wrong. They also are pointing out that so many of us are criminals for downloading illegally and it cannot be stopped, we only can be punished for doing so. At one point it seemed okay to use the ideas of others to create newer better things, but now with everything that’s going on with trying to mitigate the illegal activity it only makes understanding the sharing of ideas a lot harder. It really affects us artists as a whole because how do we show understanding from the ideas of others without copying or imitating certain things that they embody in their work. I can only imagine what media in the world is going to look like in twenty years if it continues to follow this path.
