Digital Lettering Techniques: Geometry and Expression

Digital Lettering Techniques: Geometry and Expression

“We have reached the end of the course! Thank you very much for accompanying me. I hope that my lessons and advice will help you when developing your lettering projects. Do not forget that each project is unique and that what we saw in this course is a base that you can use with your own style. I share the steps you must follow to carry out and share your project. Concept search Define the word or phrase to design. Remember that it is not necessary that your project is necessarily musical. You can be inspired by the theme you want, but don't forget to relate that theme to the typography.

Mood board Make a board with references. Look for color and shape references to start with the design of your letters. Start sketching Take your time to sketch. Define a graphic line for the style you choose and draw the ideas. Choice and application of techniques With the sketch ready, put into practice all the resources that I taught you in this course. You can use geometric shapes or lines as the basis for your designs. Let your imagination and creativity fly. Application of color and format Add color to your designs to give them value and make them more attractive and reflect the idea behind the design. Then, define the playback format depending on whether you'll share it on the web or print it. Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your project and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you could show me an image of each phase and add a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. Before we say goodbye, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, both sharing your progress and asking questions or giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress! I will try to spend as much time as possible on the forum, but please be patient because there will be times when I have professional commitments and it will take me a while to respond. See you in the forum!”

I hope that from today you see typography with different eyes and let yourself be enveloped by endless opportunities that it presents to us. Remember that typography cannot be forced. Before designing, think about the balance of each piece and take care of the final details. Remember that your project does not necessarily have to be musical, you can be inspired by whatever theme you want. The important thing is to associate that theme with the typography.
