“You have reached the end of the course, thank you for accompanying me on this adventure. I hope you had as much fun as I did. Now I want to see what you have created! So I'm going to explain what I want to see in your final project. I want you to create a lettering in detail, having fun and letting your creativity run wild. You will choose a quote that inspires you. You are going to do the first pencil sketches to find the idea that you want to bring out with this sentence.

I can't wait to discover your compositions! I will give you some feedback, please be patient if it takes a little while. Be creative and explore quotes that speak to you and that mean something to you! Share your work with other students on the forum. The creative community is always very constructive and caring. It will help you progress. Thank you very much for taking my course. Hope you enjoyed it. See you soon on the forum !”
