David & Goliath with Yves Leterme

This workshop is all about the most striking of contrasts. The students will work on several small projects in which they explore the possibilities of contrasting between big and small. But not only that, they will be encouraged to use formal, drawn and gestural scripts, to change tools and layouts. Every student will be coached personally towards a higher level of skill and understanding. There will be class moments for explaining about layout in general, discussing work of professionals as well as students, for suggesting ideas and demonstrating scripts, for sharing concerns and solutions. It’s the sort of workshop that covers a lot of aspects of lettering and creative thinking.
