Lettering can be fun and easy, but it can also
really make your work stand out. This book
shows you how to create a ton of effects
from shadows to zigzags, swirls to stitches,
and curves to slants. Each of these lettering
effects will add color, interest, and pizazz to
your projects!
Whether you’re painting a sign, putting up a
bulletin board, designing an appealing page
in your journal, sending an invitation, or doing
a craft project, this book will have an alphabet
for you. Use these pages to learn and practice it.
In a world where everything is a computerized
font, your handwritten touch will mean so
much more.
As you practice, you may find that you’re
gradually creating your own signature lettering
style. That’s great! You can let it develop
naturally, or you can use the blank alphabet
pages starting on page 136 to work on it.

Welcome to Lettering 101!
Beautiful lettering is a timeless practice.
You can see it in Egyptian hieroglyphics,
illuminated manuscripts from the Middle
Ages, twenty-first-century tattoos, and art
exhibits everywhere. And now you can see it
on your own projects!
Remember to match your colors to the
theme of the design. You will be amazed at the
unique and fun patterns you can create.
