3D Lettering: Create a Striking Composition

3D Lettering: Create a Striking Composition

“There you go, it's the end of the course! Thank you for having followed it, I hope that this learning will be useful to you and that you will take pleasure in carrying out your final project. For your final project, you need to create 3D lettering that can be applied to a product for sale. I share with you an example of the presentation I want to get from your process and the final work: The theme: Set a theme for your project. I recommend that you choose a theme by projecting yourself as if it were a client project. Find a word that inspires you and explore a multitude of avenues in sketch form, from the most obvious to the most surprising.

The color palette and the sketch: Create a color palette consistent with the theme you've chosen. Then choose a sketch and perfect it. Remember to check the consistency of the spaces between each letter and the balance of your lettering. Lettering: Add color to your lettering! Start with the lines, then, color the inside of each letter. Then switch to another color for the outlines of the letters flat and deep. For 3D inking, consider choosing a contrasting color to maximize the impact of the effect. Share lettering: Photograph your visual in 3D and work it on Illustrator to deepen and perfect the work done by hand. Then look for a mock-up to present your lettering and do it in Photoshop. The world of lettering is wonderful and it is a very accessible technique! I hope I have convinced you of this. I can't wait to see what you have created! I invite you to post your creation on the forum for this course, to discuss and interact with the Domestika community. I will come by regularly to comment on your work and talk to you. I hope you enjoyed this course and see you very soon.”
