Draw Your Own Fonts by Tony Seddon


Here is the book summary:

Learn how to turn a doodle into a terrific, fully functional font with this easy-to-follow guide to hand lettering and how to do it. With 30 complete alphabets drawn in a variety of styles by a team of designers and illustrators, you too can learn how to create energetic, funky fonts that seem to jump off the screen, the poster, or the page. With tips and demonstrations on how you can copy or adapt the alphabets to make them your own and sections on how to use your fonts online as well as on paper, this is a do-it-yourself book that will appeal to anyone who has ever begun a hand-lettered project – then wondered why it didn’t have the punch of professional work. Let your inner creativity flow and put your personality into a bespoke font designed by you!

And now, my review:
This was a really fun book.  It gets your creative juices flowing to see just what ideas come your way.  I really liked all the options and ideas the author had and it helped direct me to use it or to tweak it just a bit to be what I was looking for.  He covers a great span of fonts and I really liked the diversity in it.  Whether I was looking for slim or chunky, it’s all in there.  Check it out for yourself with the links below.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
