Howdy friends, today I wanted to talk about some custom lettering I created for a friend of mine. This vector lettering was a joy to make, and was part of a really fun project.
I'll talk you through some ideas on how to sketch out your letters, how to take those letters into vector, and how to add a little bit of energy to your letters to make your design look finished.
I also wanted to share my ideas around bartering, rather than doing free work, for your friends.
//SUBMIT YOUR WORK//
Want to submit a piece of design for review? Send me an email at
[email protected] - make sure to include your name, a link to the work, and a Google Drive link to the actual design files if you want me to play around with them.
