My second visit to the Department of Typography

I went back to the Department on 24th November for the Open Day. It was a very nice trip. It was also my birthday! I spend i with friends in London!
It was a very nice day to spend at the department, we got to meet the new students like me, and also meet the current students. We had the opportunity to work with the Gutemberg machine, and others, and try them ourselves! Here are some pics.
I met Stavros at Reading that time. We caught the same train back to London, and it was very nice to meet him, we've kept contact ever since, and we became friends.
It really made me want more to be there next Autumn! So if you can, and are interested in attending the MA, you should go to Open Day, Gerry really explains everything very well.
Try for yourself this year, we might met there!

My first visit to Reading

Last year, when doing a BA in Communication Design, at ESAD, Portugal, I had a class of typeface design, with Dino dos Santos, of DSTYPE. And it was really amazing, I let out my love of all time for letters and typography. So I started to look around online, and I found lots of interesting websites about typography. I then realised that one of the best postgraduated studies in the subject was near London. I also found the really nice blog from a student at the time attending the program, Dispatches from Reading from Antonio Cavedoni, that also inspired me to start this blog.
 Well, but going on, I got very interested in doing the course, but I still had to finish my BA.
 In September 2009 I went to London to visit some friends and I also sent an email to Gerry Leonidas, to go and visit the University. So I went there and talked with Gerry, and also met some former students, like Crystian Cruz. It was a very good talk! But when Gerry told me, to attend in 2010 I should start doing my application to send them! So I got to work quickly! A bit nervous, because it was so soon! To start next year! Now 2010!
