typography

[Neilb78]

Hiya

had all my equipment delivered last week, been practicing like mad all weekend,
I have had a few enquiries for typography on mugs and coasters and I really like the
designs, does anyone do these already and is there a special software I need





thanks in advance

Hi Neil,

Typography is a design concept which really needs the inner designer in you to produce the output! there is software that will do the basics for you but you still have to a artistic mind to be able to make it look good! so in a nutshell there is a cheap good luck with it and don't hold out hope or a if you can draw and design then you stand a chance!

Best vector program on the market is Adobe Illustrator, this is within in Adobe CC http://www.adobe.com/uk/creativecloud.html which can be purchased yearly/monthly. Sometimes using sites like http://www.dafont.com/ can help with a style of font you require. As FM said Typography is an Art, its taught on a lot of Graphic Design courses at college. You don't have to use Illustrator, for example Silhouette have there own software to use with the Cameo Cutter. Or there are programs like Coral Draw. You could even use word or powerpoint... Good Luck...
