What You'll Learn:

• Sketching. We’ll start with sketching, covering the basic rules of drawing script letters, and examining opportunities to add flourishes. You will learn to recognize the difference between purposeful flourishes — those that enhance a design — and extraneous ones — those that distract and impede legibility.

• Adding Flourishes. With a polished sketch in hand, you will then calligraph the design, with emphasis on learning special techniques for calligraphing flourishes.

• Inking It. With the help of a light box we’ll ink our polished sketch using traditional calligraphy supplies: a pointed pen and black ink.

• Digitizing in Photoshop. Then the computer fun starts! We will bring our design into the computer and polish it further in Photoshop. I’ll teach you some special techniques for making sure your final logotype retains the integrity of the stroke contrast, including the charming imperfections of the fine hairlines, that it had as ink on paper.

• Vectorizing in Illustrator. Finally, we'll bring our polished design from Photoshop into Illustrator and export a scalable, colorable piece of artwork ready for applications like logo design, letterpress, rubber stamps, and printing.
