Why Knowledge of Lettering as Art & Craft is Essential to Graphic Design Education
“Lettering is an Art & Craft. It requires skill in draughtsmanship, penmanship and inkmanship. It requires a sure knowledge of forms and style supported by solid technical experience in art and printing. This is what we spend our life in getting. This is what is sieved through into each piece of work.”
