James Grieshaber of Typeco is a last minute addition to the instructors for Crafting Type's 3-day workshop in Chicago. Crafting Type are concentrated workshops that teach absolute beginners how to create a typeface. Students are ushered through the entire type design process: from sketching secrets to digital drawing techniques to OpenType coding and more.
A team of professional type designers reveals the secrets to crafting typefaces with an approach to teaching that is hands-on, encouraging, interactive—and fun! CT provides all of the necessary software, plus hundreds of fonts to study and play with. No previous experience of type design is required. Students leave with (in addition to some fond memories) new typography skills, new tools for drawing type, and the first key letters of your own type design.
There is still time to register, or look out for future workshop in a city near you.
