CAPITAL MOOD SWINGS

The key word for this weekend workshop is variety. The idea is to expand our horizon and explore new territory by switching tools, styles, layouts, sizes and colors.

Throughout the journey we will focus on capitals. To this end, I’ll bring all sorts of caps to the table: formal and semi-formal caps, gestural and drawn caps, brush and pen written caps, historical and outlandish caps... and of course I’ll show you how to create your own caps.

After acquainting yourself with the style that is being presented, we’ll turn our attention to how we can arrange these letters into a cool composition or texture.

As we go, you will be encouraged to keep track of the proceedings by writing a small sample of each style onto sheets of quality paper that can later be bound into a sample book or concertina.

This class is intended to raise your awareness of different lettering styles and how they help create a certain atmosphere. The exercises will enhance your lettering skills and introduce new ways of making letters, thus broadening your repertoire. Along the way, you’ll collect ideas for making textures and layers and, inevitably, fine tune your sense for layout.
