How to become a lettering artist?

Most hand lettering artists are self-employed and contracted by clients to create unique lettering for their personal or business needs. You do not need any special qualifications to begin a lettering business, but a creative mind and a strong sense of design are a must. Since you work with clients on various projects, you also need to stay up-to-date with copyright law to ensure that you do not infringe upon others’ designs with your own. You can also find lettering work with art galleries, retail stores, and other businesses that contract these artists for packaging, sign creation, and similar tasks.
