love it, but...

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.

Very, very good point

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