Graphic Means (Official Trailer)

Excited for this documentary to be released. Graphic Means – a history of graphic design production.

Growing up primarily digital as a designer my brain cannot process how things were done — even a few decades ago.

I had some vague knowledge about production before the Mac, but it was only based on brief references my teachers made, or the little-used-tools that remained in various studios I worked in.

It occurred to me that if I knew so little, my graphic design students know even less! So with this, I set out to document the tools, processes, and people, of this brief moment in the design world. — Briar Levit, Director/Producer

The Adobe Illustrator Story

Short little documentary on the beginnings of Adobe Illustrator. When Adobe Illustrator first shipped in 1987, it was the first software application for a young company that had, until then, focused solely on Adobe PostScript. The new product not only altered Adobe’s course, it changed drawing and graphic design forever.
