Third day of school today (Wednesdays are always off) – Type Design and Concept Design. The latter with Gert Dumbar, founder of Studio Dumbar, who was introduced to me as being 'strange', 'funny' and 'a bit full of himself' but nonetheless also as 'one of the greatest Dutch designers of all time'. And indeed, my first impression: though a bit chaotic, a very nice, enthusiastic and lovable character, who doesn't hesitate to tell you, your work is crap, when it really is. I'm curious what I'll be able to learn from. In the picture you see him discussing the project – Manual for Demonstrations – with the internationals and a couple of the Dutch students.
