      Representative of the handmade trend, which continues as an antidote and alternative means of expression in today's digital world, this guide by hand-lettering expert Rodriguez answers the impulse to design and create decorative words and letters directly by hand. Readers will find 15 step-by-step exercises; lots of technical information about lettering, especially vocabulary for spacing and parts of letters; a tour of various letter styles; composition basics; and even hand-stretching exercises to help warm up. There are lots of practical applications for hand lettering such as gifts, greeting cards, wedding invitations, logos, and, especially with the inclusion here of chalk and chalkboards as media, store and restaurant signage. VERDICT This fun and informative guide would make a popular addition to crafts, hobbies, or art how-to shelves.
