DESCRIPTION

ISBN 978-84-15829-85-0 / Layout: 18 x 23 cm / Pages: 192 / Cover: Hardcover / LETTERING signifies “inscribed letters”. We can understand this from those works characterised by their manual nature and therefore by their imperfections and free style. In this book we have compiled works from great artists which have personal and varied styles. All of the artists explain to us first-hand their way of working, making us a part of their most personal creations, including works from the likes of Sérgio Bergocce, Nathan Yoder, Marga López, Sel Thomson, Simon Walker...

“Hi, ok so for all my lettering prints I start by sketching by hand quite loosely to get the flow of the letters and how they will fit together. Then I draw and redraw until I am happy with the size and spacing of the letters, usually I work with pitt pens and sharpies. Then I scan in the final sketch and clean it up in illustrator

vectorise and play around with it until its ready to go to print.”

“Hola. Bien, pues empiezo todas mis fuentes haciendo un esbozo a mano sin apretar demasiado para conseguir que las letras fluyan y encajen. Luego dibujo y

redibujo hasta que estoy contento con el tamaño y el espaciado. Suelo trabajar con bolígrafos Pitt y rotuladores Sharpie. Después escaneo el esbozo final y lo limpio con Illustrator. Creo vectores y juego con él hasta que está listo para imprimir.”

“I usually begin sketching by hand to make all the composition. After that, I scan it and redraw it to correct some imperfections and make some fine adjustments, I mean, improve the design at all. This digital process (including coloring) is done

with my good friend Wacom Intuos in Adobe Photoshop. So, we’re ready to print/publish.”

“Suelo empezar con un esbozo a mano para hacer toda la composición. Después lo escaneo y lo redibujo para corregir algunas imperfecciones y hacer algunos ajustes, es decir, mejorar el diseño. Este proceso digital (incluyendo el color) lo hago con mi buena amiga Wacom Intuos usando Adobe Photoshop. Así que todo

listo para imprimir o publicar.”
