Typography & lettering; Lettering & calligraphy

"Jam-packed with beautiful and inspirational work, Reinventing Lettering is a visual treat. As such lively and versatile areas of graphic design, lettering and type invite innovation and reinvention. The ""sweetshop"" of techniques and media to choose from offer an open book for typographers, illustrators and designers. From no-tech to digital wonders, the old guard to avant garde, any and every approach goes.

More than a tantalizing collection of work, Reinventing Lettering is a mentor, encouraging you to explore new paths. Overviews of tools and techniques give you the basics; profiles of outstanding lettering designers give you the sparks.

Examples of illustrated, hand-drawn, digitally drawn, 3D and found lettering from artists such as Jessica Hische, Marian Bantjes, Seb Lester and Yulia Brodskaya are all to be found in this vibrant book."
