Studio One: Learn Brush Script Lettering

In the age of illustration, before photography and Helvetica changed the face of graphic design, most magazine ads, mastheads, or brochures used Advertising Brush Script. It is an easy style of lettering to learn and has enjoyed a revival in popularity over recent years. In this class, you will first learn to write Brush Script, and then learn how to adapt it to change its character entirely. Suitable for all levels. Presented by Old School New School Typography.

Studio Two: Letter Proportions - Technique & Process

Every pre-digital designer understood that underlying each alphabet is a proportional system that provides a size and shape relationship between all letters of that typeface. In this masterclass, you will learn to draw your own lettering using the classic Roman proportions, see the difference proportions make to each typeface, and be introduced to the architecture of letterforms, and what makes a well-balanced letter and word. Suitable for graphic designers and graphic design students. Presented by Old School New School Typography.
