I'm uber-excited to introduce my first Lettering Crit, a new FREE live feedback session for lettering makers.
The Lettering Crit (short term for "critique") is a live event to provide feedback to selected work. Previously there will be a call for submissions. This is how it works in a nutshell:
Sessions will occur on YouTube, and everyone can attend. The fun thing is that you won't know if your work was selected upfront, you'll have to join the YouTube session to find out! During that session, attendees and I will comment on the pieces (it could be yours!) and provide tips and tricks to take it to the next level. Along the way, I'll be sharing valuable insights on lettering and letter design as well.
One important thing: these sessions are not made to crash anyone's work but to highlight the great bits and give feedback. One of the goals behind it is to discover new talent, that's why I'll be featuring the authors here in my newsletter and on my social networks.
Why feedback is important.
Having feedback from teachers and mentors was essential for me to improve my work with letters. Without them, it would have been really hard to spot the flaws in my work and make it better. Sometimes you need someone to point out at stuff and make you see it.
As important as understanding your flaws is having reaffirmation on what you're doing right, isn't it? I've always appreciated teachers and colleagues that were not only able to critique me but also give me a pat on the back. I want to be able to provide that to other letter makers out there, and this is why I'm hosting this Lettering Crit.
