Drawing for fun and growth

Drawing is a discipline. You need to do it often and not get hung up on what to draw.
Anything you see in front of you or imagine can/should make its way in your sketchbook.

Who can read it? Well, yea, if you’re standing directly in front of it.

Come on design/type students, what would you do to draw crowds to your yard sale?

Not everyone in the business world can either afford professionally designed signage nor are they or their signmakers sensitive to issues of leading, placement, kerning, tracking, typeface selecting or size relationships (hierarchy). What issues do you have with the type in this image?
