In this class we’ll work on a hand lettered phrase and incorporate illustrated elements. In 5 weeks students will go from brainstorming and thumbnailing concepts to completing a finished piece. Every step of the process will be guided with feed back and critique.
Student will be instructed on drawing letterforms, on spacing, composition, and hierarchy of their lettering, and bringing in illustration that elevates the lettering.
Class time will be mainly for instruction, exercises, group critique, and one on one feedback. Students will be expected to work on their project between class times.
No prior lettering or illustration experience is required.

Tracing paper, Roll or pad (at least 11”x14”)
Drawing paper (at least 11”x14”)
Pencil
Eraser
Sharpies, both fine line, regular, and large and any other black pen desired
