$32.50
This revised edition of In Progress offers a fresh, behind-the-scenes look at the creative process of lettering artist, author, and type designer Jessica Hische. Spanning her career to date, the book highlights recent projects, new insights, and updated guidance on using digital tools alongside hand lettering.
Through detailed captions and generous visuals, Hische walks readers through each stage of her process, from early inspiration and loose sketches to revision and final artwork. Projects for clients are broken down step by step, giving readers a clear view of how ideas evolve into polished designs. New material in this edition expands on Hische’s current workflow, including her approach to drawing digitally on an iPad and the tools she relies on today. Readers can revisit her sketchbooks, trace the evolution of her style over time, and gather practical ideas for improving their own creative practice.
With more than 250 full-color images and metallic silver ink used throughout to echo pencil sketches, In Progress is both a visual delight and a serious reference. The book also includes a preface by Louise Fili, adding further perspective from a celebrated voice in design.
“Some creatives share much less of their personal lives with the world, but who I am and my experiences have everything to do with how I work and what kind of work I'm interested in doing. Through design, I found a way to be a part of an awesome, accepting community, and that's really why I've fallen so deeply in love with it. . . Hopefully this book helps a few of you find a way to do (and hopefully get paid to do) whatever it is you want, and if not, at least there's a lot of pretty pictures.” —Jessica Hische, Introduction.
