Hand Lettering

Laura is amazing, so talented and so inspiring! Her type work is awesome, she has more than 80 types in her portfolio. Watching all of her courses here at cL. Such an incredible opportunity to learn from such an amazing designer. Thanks, cL!

This course is a great introduction to hand-drawn typography. The lessons are clear, beginner-friendly, and encourage creativity. Practical exercises help improve technique, and the tips on spacing and composition are very useful. Perfect for anyone looking to learn custom lettering!

A lot to learn from this man. Thank you so much!

Its 100% beneficial. BIANCA MASCORRO skills of teaching are great . Thank you !

Omg I can't not hear her smacking and the word um :( I don't mean to be hurtful but her content was there but I couldn't make it more then half way At one point I swear she was doing the smacking or tsk on purpose. Maybe if that was worked on people could appreciate how great the content is?

This class was exactly what I needed to re-gain confidence in hand lettering. I majored in illustration 10+ years ago and while I did take a typography class in school, it's been many years and I was feeling rusty and nervous about hand lettering. This class refreshed my memory on various typography principles and gave me ideas on various styles I can reference to create my own lettering. I love the format where I can watch her example and then try it for myself - it's like training wheels and works perfectly for me as a visual learner. Annica is obviously a pro at what she does and she's also really good at explaining what she's doing and why. I am really happy with this class and thankful to Annica for sharing her knowledge and experience.

This was an absolutely amazing class. So much material was covered in such an accessible fashion. Comprehensive, encouraging, inspiring. Much thanks!

Dina has packed everything into this class, she didn't leave anything out. She is an exceptional instructor and she explained everything. I am so impressed, had to buy this class - it is probably THE best class I have ever watched!

Packed full with valuable, honest information for anyone in the creative industry. Thank you, Dina!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Annica clearly knows her stuff and explains well how to draw the different types of letters. I'm very inspired and will be continuing to learn how to draw letters better. Some reviewers are complaining about the f word that's in one of the slides. Man, it's just s stupid word. As an adult (parent/teacher/guardian) if you can't even explain the definition, context, and significance of that word, you've got a lot of rough years ahead of you while trying to parent or teach a young one. The inclusion of the word has no affect on the content of the class. Get over it! And there are complains about her nuanced delivery style. Please! Find something more significant to complain about.

Great course for anyone interested in the fundamentals of Visual Notetaking. The lessons are clear, well explained, you have enough time to practice. I definitely recommend this course!!

I really had fun doing the actives with the clads. I learned several ways to take notes visually. She had a clear curriculum of topics she wanted to teach and conveyed her knowledge with power point presentation along with live examples. Very good!!

Ok I can't wait to get practicing

I am hesitating to take this class, one of the reviews nailed it. I was thinking the same. This could have been part of the other class!!! Not another one, with another charge.

I would recommend anyone interested in Calligraphy to take this course. I liked that she took the time to explain the basic strokes and the importance of practice. I also enjoy her being authentic letting me know that with all her years of doing this she still does warm up strokes before tackling a project.

i used to do programs and newsletters for a NFP agency and i spent many hours into the night working on Aldus programs/ ha.. So i went back to school and said oh i can skip design 101 -- look at all this stuff i did. lo and behold and so glad the art dept chair said .. ummm maybe start with the 101 anyway. sure glad i did.

This is an amazing course! I have learned so much from it. I will certainly use the concepts learned and apply them!

Fantastic in every way. Drawn in from the very beginning.

Fantastic course. Inspired me to think about note taking

She's good at what she does. I learned a lot in this class.

Great class! The instructor was engaging and accessible. This was a bit of a crash course, which is understandable given that most of the work involved in being good at sketchnotes is independent practice. Giselle provided a thorough overview of the foundations and offered suggestions for preparation, practice and continued professional development.

I'm not a visual notetaking professional, but I am an educator. I plan to use multiple elements of what I have learned in this course to bring better visual elements to my oral presentations (i.e., using whiteboards and Livescribe pens) for lectures and other real time and recorded presentations (online learning).

Really enjoyed this class!

Good instructor, nice materials, well organized. I would take another course with this instructor. My problem with the course was the editing? Camera choice? I didn't go to film school so I don't know if this course was a multi-camera shoot, later edited or shot like a sporting event with a director jumping from camera to camera. Whatever the case, the beginning of most demonstrations were late on getting to the paper and brush so we missed the beginning of the demonstration and as she didn't necessarily repeat every letter or number we often just missed out. Would have been great if a more lecture based sort of course but not so good for demonstration based learning.

Loved it - has really inspired me to develop this skill!
