Fridays are special days for me, from 2 till 6 pm I, with a group of people, run a class called Typography II at UBA (Universidad de Buenos Aires). It is a year-long course where Graphic Design students learn book & magazine design, so it’s a very interesting process that we all, students & teachers signed up for.

Today starts our year, there’s usually about 150 students divided in 5 groups of 30 with 2 teachers or a teacher and an assistant each, and the staff completes with 1 JTP (-jefe de trabajos prácticos- chief for practical works), 1 head of Typo II, and the head of the course.

This is the kind of experience that always gives you a lot more than what you can expect: it empowers your vision to new approaches, gives you the possibility of understanding other points of view, and one great thing is that it allows you to interact in a very different -not competitive- way with other designers/teachers, people that most times are in the same frequency in terms of design.

It’s pouring rain, so we’ll see how many show up.
