Make a logo for that band you hate with a clear brush stroke

About this course
Brush lettering is a technique that allows you to approach calligraphy in a comfortable and satisfactory way, and you can get apparent results from the first moment. However, the idea of the course is not to do something that “looks nice”, but it will have a great influence on the technique and the formal structure of the lyrics. Once this formal basis is assimilated, we will proceed to make more personal and experimental variations of it in order to work on the final project.
The course will be accompanied by different references, resources and materials that will help you create your logo, through a simple and effective learning system.
