Description:	The first section of this book features some of the world’s best lettering and type designers. They talk about their inspirations and how they create their type designs—whether by hand or on the computer. Many show the steps they take when concepting and sketching out rough ideas, revealing a sneak peak at their creative processes. There is a variety of styles and techniques that will inspire and inform your work. The second section of the book is a workshop on type basics. Using existing typefaces as a starting point, you can begin to create a whole range of type-based work incorporating different styles. I see this workshop as a personal exploration; tracing existing typefaces is just the first part of the exercise. In the end, I want you to have gained enough confidence to never touch the specimen sheets again. After all, type created from specimen sheets is not original or unique. These should be used only for personal development, not in actual projects for publication or commercial purposes.
