70s-Inspired Lettering Design

“This is the end of the course, but perhaps the beginning of a new adventure in the world of lettering. Thank you for having shared this time with me, I hope you can successfully apply everything you have learned. Now it's your turn to work on your project (or finish it, if you had already started it throughout the course). To guide you, I am going to share some last tips to follow to carry out this project. Remember to save photos or files of your process (from the sketches to the final result). I would like you to use them to explain what you did, how you did it and why. This will be very useful not only as a reminder of your process, but for others as well. So we can all progress together! It will also allow me to better guide you if you have questions. The sketches Make your sketches with the most possible variables, with different compositions and styles, types of finishes or ligatures that you can think of. Remember that this step is for exploring ideas and not for making very detailed drawings.

Let your ideas rest, when you return to them after some time you can have new ideas or improve a previous drawing. Digitization Practice the technique of extreme points; It is essential when working with letters. Open corners are also very useful. The extreme points are the key, but you already know that exceptions can (and should) be made where you find it difficult to represent a curve the way you want it, or in endings with a different angle to the horizontal and vertical axes. Don't forget to have fun! The best designs always come from the heart. Once you have everything ready, upload your presentation to the forum by clicking on “Create your project”. As soon as I can, I will give you my feedback and I will help you resolve your doubts, accompanying you in the process. Always participate in the forum, commenting on the work of others. Inspiration is everywhere. It is a matter of knowing with which eyes to look. So admire the work of your peers. You can learn a lot from them. There is a lot of talent! Bye!”
