Calligraphy and Me

"Calligraphy continues flourishing in the forms of wedding invitations and event invitations, font design and typography, original hand-lettered logo design, religious art, announcements, graphic design and commissioned calligraphic art, cut stone inscriptions, and memorial documents. It is also used for props and moving images for film and television, testimonials, birth and death certificates, maps, and other written works."

I have pasted this quote again to go further into this topic and to brainstorm for some ideas.

• Wedding/Event Commissioned Art: I have done commissions for calligraphy work and currently am in the middle of a commission for a wedding. Through first-hand experiences like these, I can have a better idea of the content I may write about for articles in my magazine.
  As an amateur, my work is nothing compared to the work of professional calligraphists. Here are some websites I found of professional wedding calligraphists: Minted Weddings, Laura Hooper Calligraphy, Just Write Studios
• Font Design and Typography: This is a topic I have recently looked into to incorporate into my art projects for art class, and it's an interesting, complicated, and long process if you want a piece to look perfect. With the prominence of technology, typography became the most popular way and most used technique to write words. "Typography is the work of typesetters, typographers, graphic designers, art directors, manga artists, comic book artists, graffiti artists, and, now, anyone who arranges words, letters, numbers, and symbols for publication, display, or distribution, from clerical workers and newsletter writers to anyone self-publishing materials." It is used for books, movies, logos, commercials/ads, billboards, television, documents and certificates, magazines & newspapers, and more. With this topic that reaches such a broad spectrum of sources, I would have more content to write about and articles to feature.
