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: NomΓ© Izakaya

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