BEYOND THE LINE

CREATIVE CALLIGRAPHY LAYOUTS

 

WITH RACHEL YALLOP

 

What you'll learn: 

We're abandoning the standard line breaks and traditional text wrapping layouts! Rachel Yallop shares her strategies for adding interest by arranging writing in creative layouts!

  • Principals of design
  • Balancing white space with line weights
  • Balancing legibility with visual interest
  • From concept, through drafting, to final design: how to work through the process.
  • How to adjust letterform slant when not writing on a straight baseline (even with spirals!)
  • How to problem solve tricky overlapping ascenders/descenders

Have you always wanted to know how to write in a spiral?
