You’ve definitely considered these...
❶
Self-Serve Courses
BUT there was no one to give you any constructive feedback on your type design work. So your design sits there unfinished, with you wondering how to improve.
❷
Overseas Programmes
BUT the cost and time required are way too high — not to mention that they only take 10–16 students per course ONCE a year! You can’t get away from your work for that long, either.
❸
Using Illustrator
BUT you can’t seem to figure out how to make it a working font that you can actually install and package for your client, so you send them individual PNGs instead, and that can’t go on.
