This short film by Boca and Ryan Uhrich provides an introduction to typography while illustrating some of the possibilities of typographic videos.

I think that this is one of those times where the message is great but misses the mark in one specific spot (and I hate to get on my soapbox but here goes). When the video discusses *who* uses typography, it showed images of men only in the places of typographers, graphic artists, and art directors. That bothered me. I work in a department where our lead graphic designer is a woman and half of our student workers (who are in the graphic design program) are women. It is troublesome to me and makes this video lack credibility for me.

I didn’t catch that my first time through the video. Is graphic design typically seen as a male-dominated profession?
