Design Monograms with Style

You will begin by getting to know Gabriel Meave's work, his publications and sketchbooks. You will also discover some of its influences and a brief introduction about what a monogram is, the role that letters play in a logo and the differences between typography and calligraphy.

Then Gabriel will talk about the key words of a graphic identity, its anatomy and the most important aspects of the composition, symmetry, layout and direction of the reading. Once you know the most technical aspects of a letter, you will learn how to put them into practice by sketching your first geometric monogram.

Then you will delve into the field of calligraphy and typography by looking at different styles of monograms based on Gothic, Italic, English calligraphy and paint brush lettering. In addition to the use of typographic languages such as serif, san serif and incisas. Gabriel Meave will guide you to define the volumetry, the profiling and filleting of the letters and add accessories such as envelopes or blazons to achieve a perfect finish.

When you have your monogram designed, you will learn to digitize and vectorize it until you get the final art.
