Precedent presentation

071115

Talked for a few minutes about my current thinkings on Helvetica and Space to a group of slightly confused / hideously hungover first years. It went alright; they didn’t really know what the hell I was going on about, but that’s ok. I made a rather nice keynote presentation for the occasion, of which you download a pdf version if you are so inclined. You won’t be get the nice transistion effects though, so just shut your eyes and think of Steve Jobs instead.

The hunch I’ve been having is that type, especially Helvetica, can have an effect on space as much as a person can; in the right context. The fact the capital R allegedly looks like a penis isn’t particularly relevant, but it makes for a good slide.
