Digital Lettering with Illustrator and Photoshop

You will begin knowing Daniel's work and his influences. In the first lessons he will explain what is lettering and its difference with other disciplines in which the lyrics are also protagonists: calligraphy and typography.

You will also learn fundamental concepts for drawing letters, such as height, modulation and optical adjustment. In addition, Daniel will show you how to draw hand lettering with brush pen and you will discover some very useful warm-up exercises for this type of technique.

Next, you will see principles of composition, essential to create a harmonic and readable layout. Once you have made your sketch, Daniel will explain how to vectorize the design in a practical and simple way.

You will learn to create different types of letters in a completely digital way, starting with a modular typeface based on geometric shapes. Afterwards, you will make a monoline design and you will see how to create your own brushes to be able to draw your letters directly in Illustrator.

Finally, you will combine all the styles in your composition and take your design to Photoshop to give it the final finishes. You will learn to create letters with neon and metallic effects, apply lights, textures and create a glitch effect.
