Step-by-step

Step 1
There are no strict rules when it comes to lettering – simply do what you like! You could use different writing styles, for instance, whether cursive or block capitals, narrow or broad letters. Try experimenting with different techniques.

Step 2
A serious writing style can provide a playful contrast to a cheeky slogan. Varying the spacing between letters can also offer interesting design options.

Step 3
You can add an artistic flair using shading and decorative elements like frames, banners, arrows or stars.

Step 4
Once you’ve finished the different elements of your artwork, play around with them until you find the combination and layout that you like best.

Step 5
Each step is explained in more detail in our video. Have fun watching!
