We had two weeks of lettering taught by Kriti Monga coming all the way from India. She gave classes in lettering, typography, and calligraphy. We got to try a lot of different tools. Among them was the ice-cream stick dipped in ink. The letters below are written with one of those.
One of the assignments was to design a book cover from a comic book we chose ourselves. We could not illustrate the cover but had to base the whole design on the style of the title. I chose Art Spiegelman's Maus.
