Acquire In Progress: See Inside A Lettering Artists Sketchbook And Process, From Pencil To Vector Originated By Jessica Hische Readable In Version

книга не само визуално, но и споделеното в нея. :

Авторката минава през процеса си на работа и има много опростен урок как да създаваш векторни букви. Има и много проекти, които споделя със самия процес на работа. Абе, като някоя книга ти хареса е трудно да опишеш какво ти харесва, защото всичко ти е на сърце.

Ако обичате буквите и искате да се развивате в тази посока книгата е чудесна. Надъхва те, дава ти да надникнеш зад кулисите, споделя хитрини и трикове за своеобразни неща и въобще какво ли не. Даже и помага да се ориентираш какъв тип креативни проекти биха те вълнували теб самия, но найготиното от цялата книга беше в началото като по найлеснодостъпния за разбиране начин обяснява разликата между calligrapher, letterer and type designer, Това беше "Аха!" момент. :Р I have a very neutral feeling about this book,
Above all, it is very, very pretty, Well, being written by a lettering artist, it kind of has to be, right
The content was good as well.
Quick disclaimer: I skipped the parts about design software and vectors, I letter with pen and paper and I do not intend to change this any time soon partly because I'm a broke student and know what the software we're talking about costs.
Additionally, I ended up merely skimming the parts about ad projects I did not find interesting.
It's just that there were a lot of autobiographical elements in it, Hische tells the reader about her childhood and youth in a quite explicit and even emotional way.
Later, when she talks about her projects, I still feel like she talks more about how she felt working on them than what she did and how she created the artwork.
Not that those things weren't interesting, I found especially the stories about her highschool and college years quite inspirational, considering that I am in a quite similar situation at the moment.
Still, I expected less storytelling and more explaining techniques, so I feel a bit let down.
I'd probably be a little disappointed if I'd paid thethat it actually costs, but I got it from the library, so I'm glad I gave it a go.
Also, most people probably bought this book for the explanations about vectors and I can't comment on those, so.
. .
I'm sure I did pick up some bits and pieces and quite a little inspiration.

Un libro per appassionati, professionisti e curiosi! This was a wonderfully insightful and useful book, I love how she walks the reader through her creative process, It helped me articulate my own creative process not only for handdrawn art, but for other creative processes such as my writing.
While not the explicit focus of her work, she offers many useful tips on running a freelance business.
Her commentary on how she uses her calendars inspired me to rethink how Im using mine.
I also enjoyed that she discusses how she works with clients and how many drafts she goes through before getting to the final work of art.
For someone who thinks I have to get it right on the first go, this was very helpful.


Practically, I love her explanation of taking a sketch through the vector process, I didnt understand how to do that before and now Im excited to practice, Also, I love love love concept art, So her discussion of representing the essence of books on their covers was amazing,

Highly recommend to anyone ready to sharpen their skills, interested in exploring a career as a letterer or illustrator, or anyone interested in the creative process.

And she explains it all very well, too, It's no wonder she's a soughtafter resource for so many people and companies, I got a few good tips about working with vector art from the book, too, uhm Jessica Hische is one of my heroes, that is all. I love the design process Jess shares with the initial sketches to vector art, She has a beautiful style,,/Let me start off by telling you that the design for this book is on point! I really love the use of spotUV and and the metallic graphite colour on the cover.
The graphite colour is also used throughout the book, in all of Jessica's sketches in the book and it feels like you're really looking at pencil sketches.
The design of the book is very consistent and the layout makes it very easy to read and to process all the information without feeling overwhelmed.


As for the actual writing and information in the book: I loved it, The writing is informative and you feel like Jessica Hische is sitting next to you explaining

her proces making little quips here and there.
In the first part of the book Hische talks about her favourite tools and her lettering process.
This was definitely the most informative part of the book and I felt like Hische was very honest, not omitting any steps.
In the second part of the book we get to see a lot of different projects Hische worked on.
Every project is explained and even here Hische gives more information about her process,

I believe this will be one of my best purchases this year and definitely one of my favourite books I read this year.
If you're interested in hand lettering or looking for some very pretty inspiration, this is the book for you.


I loved getting to peer into her journals and sketchbooks and see her processes.
So inspiring and such an incredible artist and designer, An excellent resource for information as well as inspiration!

Jessica Hische is the genius behind the design of many beloved book covers the whole Barnes and Noble's Leatherbound Classics series for example, see sitelinkThe Picture of Dorian Gray, sitelinkFrankenstein Penguin Drop Caps for example, see sitelinkThe Shadow of the Wind, etc.


In Progress was an amazing, beautiful, interesting and very helpful book, I am simply in love with it! lt

It starts out with some basic info about calligraphy/lettering/types tools, terminology, etc.
So any person who is new to the topic will have no trouble following the book along moving forward.
It is a brief but welldone and easy to understand introduction,



Then Jessica Hische invites us for a behindthescenes look at her work process from brainstorming ideas to sketching to polishing the final piece in vector form.
What I liked the most about this section of the book was the fact that she's very honest and open about the process.
She lists the specific tools and techniques she uses, shows the stages of her work the way they actually look, and is vocal about the challenges that happen on each stage.
This is not a polished version for onlookers this is the real deal,



After that, we get to see a section on all the different types of work projects she does.
Book covers, posters, logos, redesigns, postcards etc, There are plenty of pretty, colorful illustrations, She gives some background info about the projects, talks about how these types of projects are different say, how designing book covers differs from designing posters, how it affects her work process.




The quality of paper, print, and illustrations is topnotch,

I loved the structure and the writing as well as the contents, Hische tells her story in such a friendly, open and honest way, you instantly feel like you're buddies.
She talks about how she chose her education, how her career began and how she organizes her work and life now.
So it even has a bit of a memoir component going on, some personal and vulnerable stories about the confused years of a beginner artist.
It's very appropriate though.

Most of all it is a story of a person who is in love with her work, works hard and credits people who help and/or work alongside.
It's a joy to read,

So I loved the book and I loved the author, This book is a beautiful thing to have and a great inspiration, .
