About this ebook
Beautiful “bullet journals” are popping up all over Instagram and Pinterest. The joys of decorating the pages with drawings and lettering are many. If you want to start your own bullet journal or if you want to improve your journal aesthetic, this book is for you. It is an informational workbook that teaches lettering styles to help people organize and beautify everyday life.
Learn from a step-by-step guide to creating a basic hand-lettered alphabet for beginners. Then learn five additional alphabet examples in various styles, explore letter variations and choose your favorites that best fit your style.
You’ll learn how to build words using common word examples like days of the week, months of the year, and other words commonly found in planners. After learning the script styles, you’ll learn concepts of composition by teaching how to mix and match styles of lettering in creative ways.
You’ll also learn some key “don’ts” of lettering to avoid. Then there will be step-by-step instructions on how to draw decorations to embellish lettering including shadows, borders, banners, and flourishes.
“Jillian and Jordan are experts in their field, and their teaching style is relaxed, enjoyable, and easy to follow along with at any skill level.” —Erin Demoney of The Petite Planner
“Their simple, step-by-step approach will help you understand that you don’t need to be a seasoned artist to be able to create gorgeous hand lettering!” —Becca Courtice, calligrapher and teacher at The Happy Ever Crafter
Jillian Reece
Jillian & Jordan are twin sisters who teach calligraphy through online courses. The sisters took a calligraphy class when they were in middle school and became obsessed with hand lettering, adding lettering to their notebooks and journals throughout their years in school. After graduating from the same college, they moved to two different states and lived apart for the first time in their lives and used lettering and other crafts to stay connected. In 2015, they founded Loveleigh Loops. They’ve created a highly engaged and supportive online community and built a global following of over 50,000 across their online channels. Their background in analytical fields (Jillian was a data analyst and Jordan was an engineer) have influenced their teaching methods. They’re able to breakdown the complicated discipline of calligraphy into a step-by-step system that even complete beginners can understand. The sisters are passionate about helping letterers of all levels become the artist they know they can be.
