Have you ever needed to incorporate typography into your illustrations without knowing exactly which one to choose or how to use it naturally in your work? Have you been curious about the possibilities not only functional but also plastic, aesthetic of typography? 
How to play with them from the perspective of an illustrator or an artist? Have you felt somewhat intimidated by it, because it’s complex and, in theory, oriented to graphic designers? This class is for you.

What this class is and is not
This is not a graphic or typographic design class, but in it, you will learn a little more about typography, how to use it practically and intuitively, how to integrate it into your regular work as an illustrator and how to use it from a more graphic perspective.
What you'll learn
By the end of this class, you will have some practical notions of typography and new creative tools. And hopefully, some new and interesting illustrations that allow you to elevate your portfolio.
What you need
To do the class you will basically need your creativity, the means you prefer to make sketches and your usual tools, as long as they allow you to manipulate typography at least in a basic way: Illustrator, Photoshop, Procreate, Affinity Designer... any of them will work for you.
This class is especially addressed to:
Illustrators with an interest in learning how to use typography in their work but is completely open to anyone creative with an interest in typography or illustration.
