Mastering Script Lettering

3.7 Further Research

One more video. I just wanted to show you guys a list of helpful resources and materials for you to check out to further your knowledge of script lettering and just lettering in general. The first one I highly recommend is The Art of Hand Lettering by Helm Wotzkow. It's a wonderful book that has all sorts of lettering within not just script lettering but the basics of serif, sans serif, any type of lettering you're trying to get your hands onto. The next one is Mastering Layout by Mike Stevens. Layout is very important when it comes to lettering. You need to understand the composition and what's working, what isn't. Hierarchy, that sort of thing. So I highly recommend that as well. The next one is gonna be Scripts. It's literally just called Scripts and it's by Louise Fili and Steven Heller. That has a wonderful slough of great resources of scripts within other countries. It's just a great inspiration sort of source. The next one's gonna be Script Lettering for Artists by Tommy Tompkins. A lot of the information that I know to this day is from this book, as well as taking workshops within the Cooper Union. Go to Coopertype.org. Everything they offer through their workshops, like workshops from Ken Barber and John Downer and many other great teachers that go and teach through the New York location as well as, now they have a San Francisco location. So if you're in the United States, I highly recommend checking those out. If you have any other questions as for other resources or any other sources of inspiration, or anything else for that matter, feel free to let me know but this is a great start. So check out these and you will not be disappointed.
