In this workshop, you’ll unlock their expressive potential by constructing your own grid to use as both a tool and a design element in creating a set of custom letterforms. We’ll briefly cover the structure and conventions of the Latin alphabet, explore how modularity can bring visual harmony—even to eccentric styles—and craft a unique piece of lettering based on the grid you develop from scratch.Required Materials Laptop with Adobe Illustrator installed Black markerJune Shin is an award-winning independent designer and artist from Korea with a particularly strong interest in typography.
