TERMINATOR

TERMINATOR – Salvation Will Come

I was very pleased to see that the practice of painting custom film posters prevails in Ukrainian cinemas.
I find this an admirable tradition and will be sad to see it replaced by homogeneous, glossy banners.

BENT IRON TYPE

A little taste of modernist style typography all made of thin pieces of iron bent to shape 3-dimensional
letters. An easy and once very popular way to achieve that fancy, sophisticated look. Still used but with
different letter forms. I have found these at very different places around Europe.

LVIV PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Used to the high standardisation of the public transport in most European cities and the Western world
in general I was quite surprised to see how arbitrary the signage on buses in the Ukrainian capital is.
So is the choice of vehicles and until the end of my stay I haven’t figured out the marking system of many
of the bus stops – buses seemed to stop anywhere a group of people gathered by the side of the street.
Being only a temporary visitor I found it very interesting and amusing though I can perfectly imagine the
citizens having a more critical approach to this system.
