Love grids? Great. Hate them? Let me change your mind. Grids don't have to be boring or rigid. In this workshop, you'll unlock their expressive potential by constructing your own grid to use as both a tool & a design element in creating a set of custom letterforms. We'll briefly cover the structure & conventions of the Latin alphabet, explore how modularity can bring visual harmony-even to eccentric styles-and craft a unique piece of lettering based on the grid you develop from scratch.
June Shin is an award-winning independent designer & artist from Korea with a particularly strong interest in typography. Previously, she was a design director at a tech startup, typeface designer at Occupant Fonts, & adjunct professor at Rhode Island School of Design. Her work has been recognized by the Noguchi Museum, Type Directors Club, Art Directors Club, Communication Arts, & Graphic Design USA, among others.
