I have recently graduated in graphic design, and i just feel like learning all about making type.
The one problem is that in my country (portugal) there aren’t any graduation courses or masters on type.
Keeping in mind that my main languages are portuguese and english (i also speek a litle of spanish), were do you advise me to go in order to learn how to make type (country/university/course)?
Just lurk around on Typophile and buy all the books people mention.
Also, GO TO TYPECON. I cannot even begin to describe how much one learns from sitting around in a room full of type junkies listening to type designers talking about designing type.
Edit: Someone just handed me a poster from Basel, they’re doing a type design workshop from July 7-11. Baselschoolofdesign.ch
