Compose a creative image from start to finish by exploring color, texture, and lighting
An illustrated lettering piece is far more than just letters and words. It’s composition capable of deconstructing shapes as we know them to create visual poetry. Award-winning designer Lygia Pires, who’s created pieces for brands like L’Occitane, Bauducco, Louis Vuitton, and Timberland, shows you how to explore the limits of illustration and lettering to create a striking work of art.
