"AKIRA" LETTERING
2017 |
  |
Working on this project was a dream come true for me.
I've loved Akira since I was 13, and was honored to be able to letter the
35th anniversary box set. I handled all lettering on volumes 1, 3, and 6,
and did lettering fine-tuning on the other three volumes. I also did some
design for the series, in the form of the sound effects glossaries. This
series didn't require as much sfx lettering as usual titles, since the idea
was to keep them intact, in Japanese. There was some sfx work to be done
though, in terms of bubbled sfx, and a lot of dialog to letter. I took extra
pains to make sure every bit of lettering I did on this seminal work was the
best I could do and that everything flowed gracefully. |
