AIGA Honolulu & Hawaii International Film Festival present:
HELVETICA - A Documentary Film

October 23-24, 2007

Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type.

Interviewees in Helvetica include some of the most illustrious and innovative names in the design world, including Erik Spiekermann, Matthew Carter, Massimo Vignelli, Wim Crouwel, Hermann Zapf, Neville Brody, Stefan Sagmeister, Michael Bierut, David Carson, Paula Scher, Jonathan Hoefler, Tobias Frere-Jones, Experimental Jetset, Michael C. Place, Norm, Alfred Hoffmann, Mike Parker, Bruno Steinert, Otmar Hoefer, Leslie Savan, Rick Poynor, Lars Müller, and many more.

DESIGNER DIALOGUE SERIES
A summer series to gain insights about these talented designers' creative process, thoughts about sustainability, ideas that inspired solutions, and more.

Designer Dialogue (part 3): MICHAEL OSBORNE
President and Creative Director of the San Francisco-based graphic design firm, Michael Osborne Design,Inc.
http://www.modsf.com/

Established in 1981, the firm's work in corporate/brand identity, package design, and print collateral has been recognized by many competitions for outstanding design, including the West Coast Show, American Institute of Graphic Arts, and the Clios. MOD's work is on display in the permanent collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York, and the National Postal Museum in Washington, D.C. MOD's work has also been featured in Graphis, Communication Arts, The Society of Typographic Arts, American Institute of Graphic Arts, How Magazine, Print, and Step Inside Design Magazine. Michael also designed the 2002 and 2004 Love Stamps, the 2006 Wedding Stamp, and the 2006 Madonna and Child Stamp for the USPS.

Another of Michael’s passions is the fine art of letterpress printing. As his knowledge of the craft grew, so did his respect for a skill requiring dedication and diligence to create something handmade and original. In 1991, Michael opened One Heart Press, a letterpress printing shop located in San Francisco. OHP produces fine press books, corporate business systems, broadsides, invitations, and other unique printed materials. (oneheartpress.com) In addition to his professional achievements, Michael began exploring the medium of printmaking in 1992. He has since studied with master printers at Crown Point Press and Paulson Press in concentrated workshops focusing on etching techniques.

Michael Osborne graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in 1978. He has been a faculty member at both the University of California at Berkeley, and the Academy of Art University since 1991, and recently graduated as Valedictorian in the 2007 Master of Fine Arts {MFA} program at the Academy of Art University. He has lectured at numerous universities and has been a featured speaker at many conferences and events, including Western Art Directors Club and American Institute of Graphic Arts events, the A.D.A.C. Envision Design Conference two years in a row, and the HOW Design Conference. In the summer of 2006, Michael was the recipient of the prestigious AIGA Fellow Award.
