Here's an excerpt from the author!

I wrote this book to enable you to expand your creativity and end your reliance upon the logos and fonts of other designers to become a logo and font designer yourself. Of course, there's nothing wrong with using OPF, especially if you like them. I do it myself—constantly, as we all do at times—but won't you feel proud when you can point to a logo or font and say, "Look, Ma, I drew that... by hand!"

This book truly is a bible for designers. It is completely comprehensive and shows you how to become an independent artist, from sketching to selling. The lessons in this book are essential to any designer looking to create their own fonts, or make their own icons. You'll learn how to pull off those little details that separate out the truly great designers from the amateurs and enthusiasts.
