live the language

As a lover of design and travel, I was completely in awe after watching these four beautiful short videos directed by Gustav Johansson. The gorgeous imagery is shot by Niklas Johansson, and the type is by a Barcelona graphic designer and art director Albim Holmqvist, who made the videos worth watching for a type lover like me. Even if you're not a type nerd, it is so easy to fall in love with the imagery. After watching these short films, I became nostalgic, wishing I was back in Italy eating gelato while strolling along the busy streets. My favorite video on imagery alone would probably be the one shot in China. The video felt more intimate, especially when it showed the inside of a family home. However, my favorite video based on the storyline combined with the fonts was the one shot in Paris. It made me feel like I was actually in Paris, eating it's food, and falling for a French man. It's also clever how Albim Holmqvist added the pronunciation guide to help us learn the language as we live through the imagery. I only hope that they shoot the next film in Italy. I can already see myself watching it over and over again, reliving the wonderful moments that had flown by much too quickly.
