Yay! Today is Day Two of our free GTS Prep. We are so excited to launch our 5th Global Talent Search (GTS) which begins June 25th!
Join in on the fun with our free prep—three days of mini assignments to get you warmed up and prepared for the first GTS assignment. Each of these is like a little hint, too.
Here’s your second mini assignment:
Draw the following letters: A, G, and J. Do them in any style and medium you like. Have fun with them. Remember, letterforms are simply shapes.
TIP: Experiment and play with the letterform. Just be sure that it’s clear what the letter is.
Here’s a little inspiration board I created to give you ideas:
TIPS:
–Look at the thins and thicknesses of each letter, especially on the letter “A”.
–Note the serifs. Are they pointy? Rounded? Bell-bottomed?
–Is the overall shape chubby? Lean? Wide?
–Check out the dots on the lowercase ‘j’. One is round and one is actually square.
Those of you that have taken my classes know how important lettering of any kind is, for getting more work. Lettering is used on so many projects and always requested by our clients. I want you to be sure to have some lettering practice for the Global Talent Search assignments. You don’t need to be an expert calligrapher. In fact, a hand-drawn quirky lettering style is very appealing!
Have fun with this. I can’t wait to see what you do! And then post what you do using the hashtags #GlobalTalentSearch2018 and #GTSprep!
The 2018 Global Talent Search begins on Monday, June 25th! Registration closes TOMORROW, Thursday, June 21st at 11.59 PST! Sign up NOW before it’s too late!
