They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so what if the letters in your next design could express that much? Graphic designer and lettering artist Rebeca Anaya, who has worked with brands like Slack, The Washington Post and Artsynonym, teaches you how to give each project a unique voice with expressive lettering.
In this course, learn the basic concepts and tools used in the vectorization process and apply them to all of your lettering projects. Experiment and practice drawing modern, monoline, and brush script typographies so you can create designs where letters take center stage.
