CXC 2023 Talk & Teach with Emi Gennis

What We Talk About When We Talk About Bad Lettering

What makes lettering “bad?” Cartoonist and educator Emi Gennis discusses common pitfalls in the application of text in comics. Through breaking down a series of examples, she identifies mistakes to avoid, and offers strategies artists can use to help ensure their lettering is, if not good, then at the very least, not bad.
