Custom Hand-Lettering for Playful Compositions

“Thank you so much for taking this course. I hope you had fun and learned a lot. I hope you were able to learn some new skills. Keep in mind this course is just a guide; you don’t have to follow every single step to a tee, as your process may differ from my own! And that’s perfectly fine. Even though before saying goodbye, let me show you an example of what I would like to see in your presentation: Getting Inspired Find inspiration around you — throughout your city, through vintage ephemera, images you find online, etc., this will serve as a way to guide us throughout the project.

In the meantime, I encourage you to see what your fellow students have been up to and comment on their posts. See you!”
