It presents 50 different alphabets for tracing or copying, along with step-by-step instructions, directional arrows showing how to draw each letter, and advice on letter spacing. The author also offers suggestions for using color, embellishing pages with added decorations, and selecting complementary backing papers. Just as important is this books overview of the tools and materials required to execute the letter styles. They include chisel-edged fiber-tip markers, calligraphy cartridge pens, graphite and colored pencils, pointed brush pens, and gel pens. A personal scrapbook or albums lettering is as important a design element as its clippings or photos. Elegant lettering is great a way to enhance a personal collection, transforming it into a work of art. More than 250 color illustrations.
