Hand Lettered Quote

august 2018

Inspiration: Stefan Kunz's hand lettered MacBook using Sharpie®
My twist: A vinyl sticker decal

Step 1: Layout

When lettering, layout is key.
‍
After I had decided on a quote, my first step was to figure out how to lay it out within the dimensions of a 13" MacBook.

I wanted to place emphasis on specific words and have it be easily readable.

Step 2: Scaling

Once the layout was set, I sketched a smaller version of the piece and then scanned and enlarged it to a 1:1 scale.

To prepare it for cutting, I outlined each letter with Sharpie®.

Step 3: Cutting

Time to cut!

Cutting is a two step process:
1. Using a Swiss Army Knife, I first carefully cut out each letter
2. I then peel away the excess sticker paper that I do not want included
