heh, i know my professor would have some objections with his legibility here - looks like fun eh? tedious horendously-smudgy fun... i like the tape on the triangle trick, very handy!
the Ames Lettering Guide is very handy - you should borrow mine sometime.
Yea, part of the idea is that each designer should have sort of a unique and interesting style while still being legible. A lot of designers just use computer fonts now or trace printed text now, but it is still a very handy skill to have.
That plastic tool for making evenly spaced writing lines is pretty sweet. I want one.
ReplyDeleteBeyond being uniform and legible-ish, is the idea of writing in this style somehow supposed to advertise the design or designer some way?

Pish. Computer fonts will never kill hand lettering!
ReplyDeleteoh no, not replace, just supplement for people like me with shitty hand lettering.
