Behind The Scenes | Calligraphic Editorial (Part 1)

This is the first video of a new series called 'Behind The Scenes'. My creative practice is set by the principles of never stop learning, sharing knowledge and create emotion through my work.

Following these principles, I’m sharing with you the design process behind a Copperplate calligraphy editorial, recently awarded by TDC70 and Communication Arts Magazine.

ABOUT ME

I am an independent lettering designer and illustrator specialised in branding assets and calligraphy education.

In 2011 I studied a Postgraduate Course in Advanced Typography in Barcelona, and in 2012 a Typeface Design Condensed Program at Cooper Union in New York City.

Nowadays, I split my time between Melbourne and Barcelona working in partnership with brand design agencies helping them craft and develop their identity systems with emotionally charged visual elements including custom type, logo design, monograms, brandmarks, lettering, illustration, patterning, packaging and digital assets.
