Laying out Your Lettering For Letterpress

Happy Tuesday! This past weekend was reallllly busy for me! I designed our wedding invitations and recorded a Skillshare class on the entire process from start to finish: all of the research, sketches, lettering experiments, then finally setting up and saving the file correctly so it’s ready to hand off to my letterpress printer. You can watch the free intro to the class (called Laying out Your Lettering for Letterpress) here and just for my blog readers and YouTube watchers, I’m sharing one the other videos today. This video covers the sketching process of lettering based on research which determined the look and feel we were going for (Southern rustic). If you’re interested in seeing the rest of the class, you can sign up for Skillshare free of charge for an entire month using this sign up link.

I’ve learned a lot from Skillshare in the past year – what I love most about it is I can learn the processes of the people in the design + lettering industry I admire most. There’s always an opportunity to learn new things and be inspired. Even if you don’t sign up, check it out – they have everything from business courses to design, illustration to animation, 3d printing to programming. There’s definitely something for everyone 🙂

Here’s that sneak peek:
