Overview
A typographic mural uses words to produce a stunning and highly communicative piece of art. In Chalk Lettering, Annica Lydenberg will guide you through the process of completing a large-scale installation as she creates a chalk mural on-site at CreativeLive's San Francisco headquarters.
Chalk lettering is not only artistically gratifying but also an in-demand service that can bolster your client work. In this course, you’ll learn various methods to transform a small sketch or a computer design into a wall piece. Annica will cover techniques for creating temporary or long-lasting chalk murals and demonstrate freehand sketching and grid mapping.
You’ll learn:
- How to prepare your surface
- Multiple options for transferring an image to a wall
- Techniques for stylizing letter forms
- The pros and cons of chalk, conte crayons, and paint markers
Annica will help you develop a system for choosing type styles that complement each other while enhancing the message of your mural. She’ll also discuss the benefits of chalk and how practicing makes fine-tuning easier and murals less daunting.
Bending words into art, typographic murals are visual powerhouses. Watch one come to life and learn the techniques and processes that go into making one in Chalk Lettering.
