Wednesday February 10th

Hello there, I am a graphic designer from Greece, learning and experimenting with new lettering techniques.

I completed Mary Kate McDevitt's 2 lettering courses. I loved watching Martina's class and I particularly liked her project Letter Collections.

My project is a series of postcards for Athens (my city) in 5 different lettering styles written in greek.

I will show my creative process: inpirations and mood board, pencil sketches, tracing and inking, adding color and color combination alternatives, texture and 3d dimension effect.

Inspirations / Moodboards:

All together! Not sure if they would work together as a set, though. I think they work better each on their own...
