Romeo and Juliet: Prologue by William Shakespeare (lettering by Nam-Anh Lê)
Despite not having received as much time and dedication as my other skills, I do love making words look cool.
After reading Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in English class, I came to the conclusion that the language and its beauty makes up for what the story lacks. I loved how poetic Shakespeare's words were, and thought that I might have a try at making them come to life. I spent a month in total on the lettering to the left, first sketching it out on paper, then tracing it and adding finishing touches digitally.
Featuring nearly thirty different fonts, three of which are different forms of cursive, and one of which is my natural handwriting (as a kind of Easter egg), this is only a small example of what my classmates call my "plethora of fonts".
