Q & A
This episode features questions sent from Nacho who lives in Spain, Nacho had some questions answered in the second episode of the podcast too!
Nacho asked
How important do you think it is learning calligraphy for a letterer? I mean, I know that lettering is all about drawing letters but would calligraphy represent an advantage and to what point? (I’m specifically regarding the learning phase, before going pro)
What part of your work is delivered digitally and what percentage is (still?) delivered as a physical product? Is there any trend on this aspect that you know of?
Also, would you say that prospective customers tend to prefer a digital showcase over a tangible product or the other way around?
If you have a question you’d like answered in the podcast, you can send a message using the button in the bottom right corner. You can ask as many questions as you like, and ask about anything at all that’s lettering related.
Wrap Up
