    If you have a chance, please watch the movie, it’s amazing, yeah its black&white and no sound, but it is phenomenal!

    We watched it a couple of years back for my Film Studies course, Fritz Lang’s work is so visually impressive. This piece actually inspired me to start work on a German Expressionism inspired tutorial.

    This is a good tutorial, I’ve also watched this movie in my media technology degree, good movie for its time.

    Thank’s for all coment!!

    @Simon The pink dot was my visual expression for the movie’s epigram
    “THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN HEAD AND HANDS MUST BE THE HEART”!
    In other words It’s like the pink dot its the mediator! XD

    @Jane Thank’s, there’s no 3D on it! :)

    Is that a font or did you create it from scratch? It’s nice!
