Monogram Design with Your Initials

Monogram Design with Your Initials

“During the lessons I showed you how to make an original monogram, now it's time for you to invent and create your own and apply it on a business card! Follow these basic steps to complete your project. I invite you not to just copy my example, but to experiment and invent something new. Grab a pencil and start sketching your monogram initials! The more ideas you have, the better!

After drawing so many ideas, take a break to detach yourself and, with fresher eyes, choose the idea that satisfies you the most. Enlarge the sketch with a photocopier and with tissue paper rework everything carefully, developing the monogram in the way that most convinces you. With the white tempera do the last finishing touches. Open InDesign and layout the monogram on the business card. Choose the font most in line with the typographic information, play with spaces and colors. Your ticket is now ready to print! Show everyone on the forum both the final result of your project and the processing phases, documenting each phase with an image and describing what you did with a brief explanation. If possible, I will be happy to give you feedback on your work and answer your questions, but I invite you to take advantage of the forum to interact with the whole creative community: look at the projects of colleagues and encourage them by commenting on what they have shared! Thanks again for making this journey with me!”
