Published: Extraordinary Hand Lettering - Part 1

May 01, 2018 in Commercial, Business

Whiskey & Cigar Bar Birthday

My good friend and fellow creative, Doris, published a book last year and I had the huge honour of photographing some photos for it. The book is full of her tips, techniques and tools for each lettering project. 

Here is a behind-the-scenes look at Doris' process of lettering this board for a whiskey and cigar bar-themed birthday. If you want to find out how to create your own whiskey board, you can get a signed copy of Extraordinary Hand Lettering.

Lettering/Creative Direction: Love Lettering by Doris Wai
Styling: Madison and Ella
Venue: Nomé Izakaya

Doris walks you through the project from start to finish, while giving you space to get creative with your own style of lettering.

The kitchen in this Princess Margaret Lottery Home was a dream to photograph. From the colour palette to the minimalist, contemporary cabinets and island, to the finishes, I could find something to photograph everyday here 😍

The faucets throughout
A moment of appreciation for the exterior. With spring and summer being so short around here, now&rsquo;s the time to take all those photos outdoors 🏡🌳☀️

Limited space doesn&rsquo;t have to mean limited creativity and functionality. @creativedesigntherapy turned this teeny tiny space into a nautical-inspired powder room. See the details up close in the second photo 👉🏻

And save this for your own pow
It&rsquo;s nice to see a condo exterior that has shape and colour. It&rsquo;s much more interesting visually and adds variety to the Toronto skyline. This is Aqualuna by @tridelcommunities. I drive by sometimes, but finally walked by to see it up clo
