Explorer le lettrage manuscrit
Le lettrage manuscrit est l’art de créer des typographies, généralement en les dessinant sur papier ou en les concevant numériquement dans Illustrator. La calligraphie est un exemple de lettrage manuscrit bien connu. En calligraphie, l’artiste peut recourir à différents instruments, tels qu’un pinceau. Après avoir créé un lettrage manuscrit sur papier, vous pouvez l’importer dans Illustrator afin de poursuivre le travail dans un format numérique.
Planifier un projet
Si vous devez créer un lettrage pour un client, commencez par prendre le temps d’analyser son projet et ses objectifs. L’organisation de réunions avec le client peut vous aider à déterminer le style qu’il recherche. Qu’il s’agisse de créer le menu d’un restaurant ou une signalétique, la compréhension de ses besoins vous fera gagner du temps et vous permettra d’aller dans la bonne direction.
S’entraîner
Le développement de compétences en lettrage manuscrit prendra du temps. « Entraînez-vous, encore et encore, et n’abandonnez jamais. Soyez patient et acceptez de faire des erreurs », explique Brooke Benjamin. Les erreurs sont d’ailleurs parfois source d’inspiration.
Prenez un carnet de croquis ou un autre support, et entraînez-vous à créer différentes versions d’une lettre, d’un mot ou d’une phrase. Testez toutes sortes d’instruments d’écriture, comme des stylos, des crayons, des pinceaux et des feutres, pour découvrir le style de lettrage qui vous correspond.
Passer au digital
Outre les esquisses à la main, vous pouvez dessiner vos lettrages directement dans Adobe Illustrator à l’aide d’une tablette graphique et d’un stylet numérique, par exemple. Vous pouvez aussi prendre une photo de votre esquisse sur papier, l’importer et ouvrir l’image dans Illustrator, puis la vectoriser avec la fonction Vectorisation de l’image. Illustrator vous permet de peaufiner votre dessin de différentes manières et d’y ajouter des textures, des couleurs, et bien plus encore.
Pratiquer le lettrage manuscrit
En exprimant votre talent créatif dans l’univers digital avec Illustrator, vous pouvez réaliser des prouesses artistiques. Avec de la pratique, et en prenant réellement le temps de vous plonger dans votre art, vous pourrez repousser les limites de la création !
