Here is the trailer for the documentary titled ‘Objectified’ by Gary Hustwit, which I mentioned in my previous blog entry on the Objectified Poster. It had its world premiere at the SxSW Film Festival in March 2009 and will be available on DVD and for download in July 2009. I’ll be keen to see it!

“Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.”

Objectified Poster – Build

I first saw this poster on the FFFFOUND! blog last month and it instantly caught my eye. The font, the detail of the 2D graphics and the simple use of only grey, black and white all appealed to me. Did I mention that I love the detail of the 2D graphics?

It wasn’t until I went back to look at it today that I realised the word ‘objectified’ is also subtly spelt out amongst the objects (the toothbrush is the J) – cool.

Designed by Michael C. Place of Build, the poster is for a documentary film titled… wait for it… ‘Objectified’ but I’ll leave that for a separate blog entry – here!

You can buy the poster from the Objectified website here.
