Vanessa has emailed me a lovely piece of student artwork today which I thought would make a perfect blog post. Vanessa has written about it below. Congratulations to this student for a fantastic poster!

This work is of a good standard and the student has really understood the requirement of the brief. Some students prefer to do this work on a computer, but they learn a lot more by (painstakingly) drawing it out by hand. It gives such a better understanding of font design, letter, word and line spacing, etc. Obviously in the design industry it is a skill that is rarely used, but when one is learning the art of designing with type it can be a valuable stepping stone, building so much more awareness that can be applied to designing on screen at a later date.
