In this age of digital design I find the old analogue techniques of hand lettering and sign painting extraordinarily impressive. The use of traditional mediums such as chalk require real talent, which is why professional typographers are still being hired to create stunning murals in trendy cafes and restaurants. In today’s design showcase I present 30 inspirational examples of chalk lettering designs by admirable artists who use traditional techniques to create fantastic typography.
In my haste to check this out, didn’t bother reading the opening paragraph to this post. So I’m scrolling through, thinking “Oh boy! I’m gonna buy me this ‘chalk font bundle’ that Spoon is offering.” As I get deeper into it, I start to realize that this artwork is real, physical, hand-rendered [non-digital] artwork. My initial reaction was disappointment that I couldn’t snag a shortcut to art like this, but at the same time, the old brush/paint/pencil/Rapidograph artist in me is glad that there IS no shortcut to art like this.
You definitely can’t beat the traditional techniques to create this kind of art, but I’m working on a tutorial that will hopefully provide that shortcut while still looking pretty good. Stay tuned!
What an exceptionally- beautiful collection. Every piece offers a display of exceptional and aesthetically-guided skill. Very enjoyable. Thanks for that.
Thanks Terry, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it
Hi,
Someone please guide me that what is the difference between design and art?
Graphic designer and Artist ?
I sometimes use the terms interchangeably, but the way I see it; a design often solves a problem, whereas art is for fun or just to be admired.
