LETTERING + GRAPHIC
DESIGN LEARNING
I was surprised to receive a number of emails lately asking which home inkjet printers I recommend. After using different printers at all of the jobs I’ve held, plus using my own home printers (which I used for a stationery biz I once had – story for another time), there are two that have always stood out for me. Both are listed below with specific reasons why they’re my favorites, along with my favorite paper to use with them!
I experiment with new materials and supplies constantly for my (traditional) hand lettering. I would actually be scared to know how much time I’ve spent eyeing different hand lettering supplies (and reading their reviews) over on Amazon. I’ve invested in a lot of new ones this year and currently I have 5 favorites that I find myself always returning to and reordering. If you’re just starting out with lettering, or if you’re on the hunt for some new supplies but would like to read a real (almost every day) user review, here are my current top 5 favorite hand lettering supplies (totally unbiased, with no affiliation to any of em) 🙂
If you haven’t guessed it by now, I’m a little bit obsessed with typography! Every year around my birthday (next Saturday!) or around the holidays, when my family asks what they could gift me, I always ask for some kind of book relating to lettering or type. I love these books because, although there is sooooo much online, there are always gems buried deep within those book jackets or paperback covers. And while it’s common to come across a lot of recycled material online, it’s nice to be inspired by something different. So if you’re looking for some lettering books to inspire your next project, here are some of my favorite lettering books – and I own all of them…except for #5, that’s getting delivered tomorrow 🙂
