Timeless video from Erik Spiekermann

Additional Interview From the DVD version of Helvetica

Helvetica DVD

I love how he calls Microsoft badasses and says (about underground signage and timetables) "this is crap... let's make it better, usable, durable" lol

I haven't watched that for ages. I wonder if Erik relaxes? I'd imagine he struggles as he sounds permanently wired!! haha

probably not @Matthew; to be fair i find it difficult to "unplug" myself from the web... says me full of cold catching up on Pocket and posting on forums and watching Twitter, heh.

I only found Pocket a couple of months ago. I love it so much!! haha I can get like that about some things but I can wind down. I bet Erik is the sort of guy who doesn't sit still for long.

Back on subject, he's another good video (from someone who was also in the Helvetica DVD), Wim Crouwel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpuLXMxgJ0g
