LETTERING + GRAPHIC
DESIGN LEARNING
Happy Tuesday! Now that we’re halfway through the year, it was about time to make a birthday card freebie! Save a little dough this year and show you care by going diy. 😉 This week’s freebie comes in 3 color schemes: red-orange, plumb + gold. Once folded, the card measures 6″x4″ and can be printed on any home printer using A4 or 8.5″x11″ cardstock or paper. Want a different size? Just change the scale percentage in your print menu. 😉
Now that we’re in wedding season, it felt fitting to make a wedding themed tutorial! So! In this week’s tutorial, we’ll create a fairytale themed wedding invitation from scratch using Illustrator. We’ll create the decorative flourishes using a wacom tablet, then typeset and organize our final, print ready file. Let’s get started!
Dividers are one of the handiest design elements out there. Whether online or in print, they help to separate information, add style to a layout, and even a little personality. Some of my favorite places to drop them in are on invitations, social media posts and greeting cards. Since hand drawn is one of the best ways to infuse personality, this week’s freebie is a set of 10 hand drawn vector dividers, perfect for web + print. The download includes all 10 dividers as an ai, eps, and psd file for versions of Illustrator and Photoshop, CS3 or newer. Start incorporating them into your work immediately, no matter which program you’re using! Preview below 😉
In this week’s tutorial, we’ll hand letter the word ‘Father’ in Adobe Illustrator in honor of Father’s Day. We’ll use a wacom tablet to draw the letterforms, then clean up our points using our direct select tool.

Happy Tuesday! I saw a commercial yesterday that said Father’s Day is this weekend! Ah! To celebrate and help out those like me who didn’t pick up a card yet, I’ve got you covered 🙂 This week’s freebie is a printable, 6″x4″ Father’s Day card in two colors. For those that have ink in their home printers (blue background), and those who might be a little short on ink (white background). Print using A4 or 8.5″x11″ paper; template includes trim and score lines so getting it out in the mail or delivering in person is cake.
In this week’s tutorial, we’ll create an offset ink effect in Photoshop in just a few easy steps! We’ll begin with a solid background, add a skew to our text, create the effect, then add texture to our background to create consistency between our font + ink effect. Let’s get started!
Happy Tuesday! This week’s freebie is a set of 4 geometric seamless photoshop patterns! Download includes all 4 as a photoshop .pat file, as well as 1024x1024px tileable jpgs of each pattern (perfect for websites!).
