Creating lettering compositions can be tricky. Layouts are challenging sometimes! In this video, I give you four of my best hacks for creating lettering layouts. Click the link below for the full video.
First of all, YES... I’ve totally been there. It’s so normal to hit a block and abandon projects, even ones you were super excited about at first. Here’s what I do when that happens: 🗂 Put them away (for now). I'll usually just set something aside and see if I naturally want to come back to it later. It's kinda like when I go shopping and convince myself not to buy something. If my brain is still thinking about it a few days later, then I go back and get it. Same thing with my art! And if my brain forgets about it, then I just let it go! 📸 Take a photo of it, and look at it as if you're someone else. Snapping a pic and pretending I'm looking at it as a neutral friend can sometimes help me see what I like (or don’t) more clearly. (Or if that fails, ASK an actual friend!) ♻️ Cut it up to reuse. If I decide this project isn't going to come back from the depths of my hatred, I’ll cut it up into pieces and use it for something else later. Keep a scraps box! And sometimes, honestly... I just throw them out. 🙃 It’s not a failure—it’s part of the creative process.
