Overview
During the 3-day training, participants will learn a bit of the history of theory and guidelines converted into exemplary projects:
- “Tracing” from a drawing on paper to a vector image that can be used for printing, cutting, engraving, etc.
- “Pierre Bézier curves” rules for creating basic and complex curves as well as editing and repairing.
- “Typography” creating your own font from drawing to obtaining an open type font (OTF) file.
