#artoflettering

Kicking off this week’s Goodtype Tuesday is @tamara_arkatova! ・・・ It is #goodtypetuesday and the challenge today is to find and letter the name of your alter ego. I was stuck at first, but then thought for a while and surprisingly found myself being a bit similar with Hermione Granger 😁 . . . #100daysoflettering #handtype #artoflettering #tyxca #typedrawn #bftype #typetopia #hermionegranger #femmetype #youaretypography #showusyourtype . . ALTER EGO. An alter ego means alternative self, which is believed to be distinct from a person's normal or true original personality. It is a second self or different version of oneself: such as the opposite side of a personality like Clark Kent and his alter ego Superman. In Latin, alter ego literally means "second I". Alter ego can also refer to the second, hidden side of one's own self.

Do you have an alter ego? Have you ever thought about it? Not quite sure if you even have one? If not, make it up! Perhaps you've always wanted to be a drummer in a rock band or a secret superhero surfer! Your challenge this week is to letter your alter ego! Tag it @Goodtype and hashtag it #GoodtypeAlterEgo and #GoodtypeTuesday. And don't forget to HAVE FUN! • As always, we will repost some of our favorites. Remember, this is all for the encouragement and practice of lettering. Only positive comments and constructive feedback welcome. Multiple entries welcome. All skill levels welcome. Please only enter YOUR work. Entering your work does not make it ours. We give credit where credit is due. Above all, HAVE FUN! • This is a 24 hour activity that happens once a week!

The Art of Lettering: Perfectly Imperfect Hand-Crafted Type Design / Available at www.draw-down.com / From whimsical to elegant, and old-school influences to the new school—Goodtype’s The #ArtofLettering showcases dynamic #handlettering from today’s sought-after typographers and calligraphers, stoking creative inspiration for graphic designers, artists, and type enthusiasts alike. Hand lettering is making a comeback, bursting out of its #graphicdesign bubble and finding the mainstream through social media sites like Instagram and Pinterest. The Art of Lettering spotlights myriad new and established graphic designers for whom hand lettering is a time-honored practice that has modern applications. Showcasing more than 100 artists from all over the world, the book displays their typographic takes and illustrates their perfectly imperfect handcrafted art, from beautiful photographs of concept sketches to the end result. Straying away from traditional pen calligraphy, artists today employ new and creative approaches, including building type with coffee grounds, watercolors, and combinations of different hand tools, resulting in a dynamically fresh approach to creating type.
