Typography for Bible Journalers: Preclass

Welcome to your typography journey! Your instructor is a typography geek – so you’re going to graphic design school with this class! Terminology will be kept minimal – just enough to help learn the difference between a few types of text and their characteristics. Your own handwriting is the MOST important typography tool to bring to class….the lessons will help you tidy it up if that’s your need – or amp it up if you’re already happy with text basics!

Supplies

In the following video is a discussion of class supplies that will be needed, and some optional items as well. The full supply list with links is at the end of this lesson page as well as in the PDF in the Resources section.
