Hand Lettering vs. Calligraphy • Wait, there’s a difference? Oh yes. These two terms are used interchangeably, but they are actually very different. Hand lettering is custom illustration where each letter is one of a kind, while calligraphy has balanced, identical letterforms. Lettering allows you to stretch the rules of design, as each illustrated work is unique. Calligraphy on the other hand focuses on letterforms that work together as a whole. To put it simply, hand lettering = drawing, calligraphy = writing.

• Persevering calligraphers and scribes have famously done books as long as the Bible, which are incredible works of art in their own right (e. g. the Lindisfarne Gospels, the Book of Kells), but those were a lifetime endeavor, and for practical purposes we now use typefaces. Whew!

VOCABULARY • Typography: The style, arrangement or appearance of typeset matter. • Lettering - The art of drawing letters. • Calligraphy- The art of beautiful lettering. • Baseline - The "line" on which the basic body of the letter sits. • Apex- The pointed tip of a letter, ie, the top of the A. • Arch- The stroke in lowercase letters that curves out of the stem of the letter - ie, in h, m, n, etc. • Body Height- The height of the lowercase or capital letters. • Crossbar - Horizontal strokes on letters such as t, f, H. • Flourish - The added strokes or swirls used to decorate or enhance letters.

THE FAIRY TALES WE KNOW AND LOVE ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM THEIR ORIGINAL FORM… DISCUSSION: REVIEW THE FOLLOWING SLIDES AND DISCUSS WITH YOUR GROUP HOW THEIR ORIGINAL COVER WOULD BE DIFFERENT FROM THE COVERS WE HAVE GROWN UP WITH.

The Three Little Pigs • In 2012 The Guardian ran an ad relating the tale of The Three Little Pigs in the style of modern news coverage, revealing that pigs had falsely accused the asthmatic wolf of blowing the house down when they were actually attempting insurance fraud.

Jack and the Beanstalk • Older versions of Jack and the Beanstalk didn't feature the beanstalk, reflecting the medieval belief that giants were real and lived among men on Earth.

Snow White • The Queen died from falling off a cliff, but originally, Snow white ordered that she wear red hot iron shoes that forced her to dance until she falls down and die.

The Frog King • “True Love's Kiss” doesn't always break amphibious curses. Some earlier versions of The Frog King saw the princess chuck the needy croaker against a wall as hard as possible.

Rapunzel • Upon learning that Rapunzel has been shorn and exiled from her tower by the evil sorceress, the noble prince tosses himself to his doom, instead goes blind when he falls face -first into the brambles, and wanders the wilderness, subsisting on grass and roots. He regains his sight after Rapunzel fires some magic tears squarely into his eyes.

The Little Mermaid • Instead the protagonist mermaid trades her tongue (it's chopped off) and fins for human legs that feel like they're constantly being stabbed with knives. After the prince marries another woman, the mermaid considers stabbing him to death so that his blood will magically transform her back into an icthyosapien. She rejects this plan, melts into sea foam, and becomes a "daughter of the air"
