Custom Lettering
Lettering extraordinaire Jude Landry has another gem for us to covet. From a distance the sweet message is harmonious and readable, but up close becomes a Marble Madness game of dimension. I would love to see his lettering process—how does he make it look so easy?
I wanted to create an art print for type lovers that would showcase one of my original alphabets (unofficially named blackzidenz). I hand screen-printed silver ink onto French Construction Blacktop paper to add to my collection of silver on dark paper posters (like this one previously featured on FPO).
I premixed the silver ink with some transparent white because I’d had problems in the past with the silver drying too quickly in the screen. This solution worked perfectly, as I was able to quickly print 80 posters without stopping.
This post was published in the original layout of FPO so all images are smaller. Project descriptions as well as production lessons are quoted in the main content area.
