I have lost my focus on hand lettering since Level 04 and so wish to return to cretaing a typeface or at least some lettering for the wedding invites. Investigating the use of hand rendered type is providing me with inspiration to begin sketching and drawing letter forms again, something with I have not had much chance of doing this year.
The stems and ears of the lettering are almost like ligatures and provide an element of illustration and relaxation to the words. I will need to possible use colour when making the lettering for a summer wedding, however the colour scheme is yet to be decided.
Communicating a message with hand lettering can be very subtle, viewers often loose the type or words when seeing the piece of work as a patterned image rather than a sentence or quote. The guests at the wedding will no doubt be able to decipher any script I produce as they are familiar with the names of the bride and groom.
