step 3: create your type
Once you have finished your sketches and had them approved, I will scan them in for you. These sketches will be what you use to draw on top of in Illustrator. The cleanliness and proportions for these letterforms is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER! If you are having any issues with this then you need to immediately solve them by getting help.
Each letter will need to be in its own document that measures 8.5 X 11 inches, 300 resolution, with “subject 1, 2 or 3” in each one. Consider putting a color palette together before getting started that you know you are going to use constantly. Unless you’re word pairing calls for a myriad of different colors, you’ll probably be using a set amount throughout. Do not waste time wondering what you are doing…get help AS SOON as you have questions.
Once you are done with these, send me the illustrator files titled, “YOUR LAST NAME_SUBJECT 1, 2 & 3.”
