Lettering with Purpose

Great cover on this one. Perfect representation of the subject matter found within. It makes great use of color and typography and has good composition.

This book is gorgeously laid out. It makes fantastic use of color, graphics, and typography. Which makes it visually pleasing and a breeze to use. It starts off with an introduction (Letter Basics, Suggested Tools & Materials, Pairing Styles, Creating Beautiful Compositions, Lettering Styles & Techniques, Digitizing Your Lettering, Complete Alphabet Ideas). Following that are three more chapters (Ligatures, Embellishments & Flourishes, Start-to-Finish Art Prints, Inspiration for the Journey). All three of the above chapters are then broken down into subcategories that are full of tips, tricks, ideas, and even blank spaces so you can practice your lettering techniques.



I LOVED this book. I am a bonified lettering addict. There is nothing I love more in design than beautiful and unique lettering, typography, etc. It can make or break a design in my opinion. This book was simply fun. It was chocked full of great information and inspiration, as well as fun projects. It was colorful with easy to follow instructions. It had beautiful graphics and made great use of fonts, and images. Not much left for me to say. Two thumbs up from yours truly.
