First week of the second term

Hello again,

After coming back to Reading from really nice vacations the work waited us here! Though I did some work on my typeface and on my dissertation proposal, the pressure was different. As soon as I entered my house in Reading I got back on working mode. First having finished the dissertation proposal about the devanagari script, hopefully with a new approach, more graphic one I guess.
That was due this first week and at the same time we had Gerard's visit of the month, what made us work on our designs like crazy to show him something to work on! And we did, it was a very intense week but very productive. Right now it's saturday and I'm still hangover from the week, and as he said we should forget our designs for a while! Well but not too much, because they came to us in our sleep!
During the week, we get home really tired, and our eyes tired of the computer, so one night I decided just to use brush and pencil. That's what came out. As we can see we started working on the italic.

Visit to Serralves

 

During my visit to Porto at Christmas, I went to visit Serralves Museum, and there was a very interesting exhibition.
