I watched this video a while back, but was great to see it again. I can’t agree with the PC making students sloppy. I have immense respect for the “old guard”, and I think we can learn a lot from them, but, the computer has led to any explosion of new typefaces and has made the rt of typography accessible to, well, just about everyone.
I haven’t forgotten about your wonderful Helvetica T-Shirt. It will definitely get a BIG mention. Thanks for all your support constructive criticism, and comments over at redsil and iLT–greatly appreciated!
