Project Description
Improve your lettering project!
Whether it's a sketch, a project from one of Mary Kate's other classes, or a school assignment from awhile ago, revisit an old lettering piece and make it better. Share the original, pointing out problem areas, and also share your improved final, whether it's a sketch or a final digital piece.
Remember to look at Mary Kate's 5 Flags for critique and point them out! Also, share your work in the project gallery and provide feedback to others.
