我發現有一主流電影的名字字體設計跟一獨立音樂唱片的名字字體設計很相似。
是否只有我看見？

"I find that a mainstream movie's title design is very "similar" to an indie music CD's title design. Is it just me?"

DMrocket in motion

DMrocket, my first client from Singapore.
A Direct Marketing division of Singapore Post.
Voted Top Ten DM Agencies of the Year 2007.

My friend, Tree, told me that there was a film about Helvetica. And my another friend, BFSH, bought me the dvd, "Helvetica -- A documentary film by Gary Hustwit".
I strongly recommend it.
Thanks T and B!

here is a film of Paul Rand's works done by Imaginary Forces:
