Synopsis

Hand-drawn lettering is very much in vogue in modern graphic design. This practical guide shows how to produce colourful and contemporary effects with creative letterforms. There are clear explanations of the basic techniques of letter construction, spacing and relative proportion but the book takes a looser, more intuitive approach than traditional calligraphy, with projects and exercises that use everyday writing tools and materials rather than specialist precision equipment.

Review

'For those of us who are looking for a calligraphy book that is a bit different this one ticks the boxes well' Pen People (February 2010) 'a well-considered and comprehensively written book... for someone who is new to calligraphy or simply wishes to explore the possibilities of unpretentious letterform it is well worth reading' The Edge 'Moving away from the usual aspects of calligraphy, Creative Lettering experiments with textures, artists' materials and more, with beautiful examples of Margaret's own work.'
