Create content for social networks by drawing letters
Lettering interprets letters as graphic forms that convey feelings. It goes beyond an alphabet that composes words, but they are pieces of design, composed of letters drawn specifically for a specific use.
Chisko Romo has been living from the lettering since 2012 and, in this course, will teach you in a practical way, to create compositions with different styles of letters that you can use as publications on social networks.

A course by Chisko Romo
Chisko Romo is a designer born in Guadalajara (Mexico), who is dedicated to making letters, something that since 2012 has become his main work. He has worked with brands such as Adidas, Moleskine and Ted Baker, among others, who have enjoyed their personal stamp: original content and unique letterings in media as varied and different as tattoos or magazines.
Since 2014 he teaches the Lettering workshop with love that has taken him to several places in his native Mexico.
Instagram is your favorite platform, a kind of creative blog in which you can find all your work, something that has allowed you to get to know diverse audiences in a simple way, at the same time as evaluating the success or failure of your pieces to evolve day to day.
