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!
