Director Gary Hustwit is the man whose film about a font, the 2007 documentary Helvetica, proved that there was an appetite for movies about the inner workings of design. After that surprise hit, Hustwit went on to make Objectified (about the design of objects) in 2009 and Urbanized (about urban and landscape design) in 2011.
He estimates that he shot some 100 hours of video and calculates that he was only able to use about 3 percent of this material for the documentaries. Instead of letting that trove of unreleased material languish, Hustwit, who worked as a book publisher before picking up a camera, has decided to turn them into what he guesses will be a 400- to 500-page tome that he hopes will be “the most comprehensive design interview book ever published, an invaluable resource for designers, design educators, or anyone interested in the creative process.” —via source
