Hand Lettering

These are the images I gathered from my hand lettering session using the made calligraphy pen. After a few attempts this was the best I had before going into the computer room to scan it into Adobe Illustrator. 



Once I had the scanned calligraphy onto the computer, I then moved it into Illustrator to vectorize it for the next session. This is the final image I came out with that was then cut out on the vinyl cutter.

Word Associated with Type

This phrase was made using the font types given to me during the session, I made a few different phrases and decided to stick with this one. 


Once I had crated the paper version I then scanned it in and began to do the touch ups before exporting it as a finished file.

Mark Making

With the mark making workshop I was looking at different font styles, as seen in the landscape image. This was my first attempt at using a homemade calligraphy pen, I thought that the pen made very good marks and I have continued to practice with it since. Using the pen that I made in the session with Manny I then went on to try adding patterns around lettering with a fine-liner to see if i could use this technique further on in the project.
