Lettering Composition Series (Vol. 2): 9 Layout Styles That Work

THIS IS A DIGITAL PRODUCT. No printed book will be shipped to you.

Drawing letters is often the fun part, but figuring out how to arrange them is where things get frustrating.

When you sketch a quote, the letters look fine on their own, but somehow the whole piece feels off. Too tight. Too empty. Unbalanced. You move things around, redraw it again, and still can’t quite tell what’s wrong or how to fix it.

That’s exactly why I made this book.

With 100+ pages, this book teaches you how to choose and build stronger lettering layouts before you commit to details.

The Lettering Composition Series (Volume 2) focuses on one core skill many lettering artists struggle with: choosing the right layout and sketching it well. Instead of guessing or relying on trial and error, this book shows you how to think in layout shapes first, so your compositions feel intentional and right from the start.

Inside, you’ll learn nine versatile layout styles that work across different quotes, themes, and lettering styles. Each layout is broken down visually and explained step by step. You’ll see how it’s built, when it works best, and how small decisions affect balance, hierarchy, and flow.

What you’ll get

• 100+ page PDF (A4) for viewing or printing
• 9 layout styles with clear breakdowns, examples, and step-by-step sketches
• A full case study: one quote tested in all 9 styles
• Works for both analog and digital lettering
• Beginner-friendly, useful for all levels

This isn’t about rigid rules or perfect formulas. It’s about learning how to see your quote as a whole, testing ideas quickly, and making confident layout choices before you spend hours refining letters.

By the end of this book, you’ll be able to look at a quote and quickly decide which layout direction fits best, instead of guessing or redrawing endlessly.

If you’ve ever stared at a blank page, redrawn the same piece over and over, or finished a lettering layout that just didn’t feel right, this book will help you understand why and show you what to do instead.
