Book Description
In an age of myriad computer fonts and instant communication, your handwriting style is increasingly a very personal creation. In this book, Margaret Shepherd, America's premier calligrapher, shows you that calligraphy is not simply a craft you can learn, but an elegant art form that you can make your own. Calligraphy remains perennially popular, often adorning wedding invitations, diplomas, and commercial signs. Whether it is Roman, Gothic, Celtic, Bookhand, or Italic style, calligraphy conveys class and elegance. Margaret Shepherd makes this ancient art form accessible in a completely hand-lettered technical guide that will: * Provide context for calligraphy as an art, exploring the rich tradition of hand-lettering and mapping the evolution of the most popular styles. * Give detailed technical advice on choosing pens, paper, and inks, setting up your workspace, mastering various pen angles, along with step-by-step illustrations to guide you as you practice. * Explain which alphabets are appropriate for different forms of writing. For example, the Roman alphabet works well for short, unpunctuated passages, while the Italic alphabet is more suited to informal everyday communication. * Encourage you to personalize your lettering by using variant strokes and interpreting how you would like the words to look on the page. * Inspire you with carefully chosen illustrations and examples, which bring letters to life. In Margaret Shepherd's own words, "Calligraphy trains not only your eye and hand, but your mind as well." Learn Calligraphy is the authoritative primer for this age-old craft, and will help develop a new appreciation for lettering as you discover your creative personality.

Book Description
Euclid, a Greek thinker and mathematician, once said, "Handwriting is a spiritual designing, even though it appears by means of a material instrument." Handwriting does shape one's vision and reflect one's aesthetic views. Unlike typing on a keyboard, you have no control of subtle ink details when the screen displays the preformed letters. Handwriting manifests your personality and harmonizes your writing with your mood. Every stokes you created on a piece of the medium, paper, chalkboard, or touch screen, matches your identity precisely. Once the handwriting is elevated to the creation levels, calligraphy and lettering, it becomes the process of meditation. It calms you down, let you focus, and immerse you into a solitude state. You may see this book as your starting point of training on calligraphy and lettering, even if you don't want to be an artist. Learning lettering and calligraphy will subconsciously influence your behavior, lifestyle, and work habits. It's the creativities and aesthetic taste stimulated by the sense of art that does the trick. See the graceful designs of Apple products, Macs, iPhones, and iPads. Tech icon Steve Jobs recalled at his famous 2005 commencement address at Stanford University that Palladino's calligraphy class he took at Reed College inspired ultimately the elegance for which Apple computers are renowned. He had three courses at Reed College before dropping out of college. Calligraphy, Dance, and Shakespea. Calligraphy is the cornerstone of Lettering. This cursive font is designed for writing left-handed. It's neat, legible, and artistically formed.
