Join design icon Aaron Draplin as he shares tried and true techniques for customizing type – an essential skill for graphic designers of all levels. In this 90-minute class, you'll follow along as Draplin digs for antique typographic references and then creates several type treatments of his own to design merchandise for Portland, his beloved hometown. 


The lessons cover:

  • Discovering reference material
  • Kerning - owning the space between characters
  • Customizing letterforms
  • Sketching type from scratch
  • Prepping a file for print (and even finding a good promotional item vendor to work with!)
  • PLUS bonus segments on adding texture and rebuilding typefaces from scratch
