The Super
Lettering Book is a spiral-bound activity book jam-packed with
crazy, fun and fancy fonts, and instructions on how to recreate them. Word art
tips and tricks abound, from reflecting a place via lettering, like Hollywood
and the Taj Mahal, to incorporating creatures in each
letter of the alphabet. There’s inspiration overload for party invitations, and
a very fun page of ‘creepy stuff’, perfect for all things Halloween.
Along
with lots of ‘how-to’ advice, the book also encourages experimenting with your
own variations on fun lettering. Every themed spread contains a list of
suggested words that readers can try and put their own unique spin on. Towards
the back are some sturdy, cardboard stencil pages for tracing, too.
From
foodie fonts to street art to space-themed lettering, this book explores the
world of word art in a kid-centric way. It would make a great gift for those in
mid to upper primary school.
