2 term week

This last week was very intense, so that's why it took me so long to write about it. It was Gerard Unger's first visit to Reading, this year. Everybody was very excited about it, in the end he is a legend of typography and typedesign.
Our work was a one week workshop where we had to draw a typeface for small sizes, especially for the iphone. It was very interesting to see we all had their own approaches, after we come from very different backgrounds.
Monday we did research and trying to find our way, Tuesday we were struggling with the first hand drawings, Wednesday morning lots of us already had some digital samples of text, and as Gerard said, this was a quantum leap! And Friday we were in love! For typeface design I mean!
Everybody worked very hard, and the group evolved nicely.
So here are some pictures of our classroom.
By Friday night our brains were officially with memory full!  I believe not the because the amount of work but because all the quantity of information going around in our heads.
It was an amazing week and an enormous pleasure to meet Gerard Unger and also learn more about your colleagues talents.
