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.

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

This kitchenette was designed with a specific person in mind for convenience and safety.

How I see a space as an interior photographer:

Photo 1 - Capture the corner. Corners can be interesting because of how the walls guide your eye.
