About this Event
THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY MOST GRAPHIC DESIGNERS NEVER DRAW THEIR OWN TYPEFACES IS THE LIMITING BELIEF THAT ONLY THOSE WITH SPECIAL EXPERTISE CAN DO IT.
I want to tell you, this is not the case.
Because I started as a complete newbie - then worked my way up to eventually completing a Masters in Type & Media. The moment I graduated, I started creating custom typefaces for my clients for them to use in their brands, and have since designed dozens more.
The best part is that once I learnt how to craft type and make fonts, even my branding and logo design work leveled up.
If you want to learn the tools I used on my journey in type design, then join me as I share type designers' best kept software secrets in my upcoming 3-night workshop.
AND not to mention receive bonus materials that will help you kickstart your type design journey in no time.
Are you ready to start creating some typefaces for yourself - or for your clients?

I started as a complete newbie. I knew alot about type, how to choose the right typeface for a project, but the final frontier of actually drawing type always seem to be a bridge too far. I eventually graduated with a masters in type and media, but the I always wished the journey to mastery would have been made easier.
