Typeface The Movie

My thought upon the movie I seen "Typeface" is a very interesting movie to see because it takes you back when there was no technology to produce typefaces that we have today. To learn how back then people would use who worked in that industry, to use wood and create a lot of different fonts plus sizes in their work. It was not about the labor but the love to handmade letters that you can feel and create to give a satisfaction of a job well done. For Graphic Designers today it is very important to learn our past so that we can build behind imagination for the world today and to pass it on to our children, grandchildren, etc. At the Hamilton Musem in Wisconsin where it takes place has a heavy burden to deal with and that problem is it might have to close it's doors to the public. We just can't let that happen because we need this history to appreciate the art from the past and like I said before to show it to generations to come so they can learn where it all started. This situation reminds me of Peoria because over the years the city has been destroying landmarks that is really important to the city of Peoria and who inhabited here to know what it is like in the past. In the Hamilton Museum there is to much antiques to throw away and be forgotten. But at the end of the movie it stated that they are doing everything they can to keep it open and won't let it disappear in the wind. What I truly take away from this movie is to learn new things as you can and hold on to that knowledge and spread where ever you can.
