Brush Lettering: Putting Together a Finished Piece

Be sure to check out our other Brush Lettering classes on Brush Lettering Basics and Flourishes & Ornamentation.  

Lay out and create different brush-lettered words, and combine them into a cohesive, attractive whole. You’ll explore different layout variations for your compositions, and begin to practice your letter with an eye to creating compositions. In this class, type designer Laura Worthington will cover:

• How to plan the layout and create thumbnails
  
• The pencil skeleton as a basis for lettering in a composition
  
• Reworking and refinning your final piece
