• Draw the alphabet in
lower and upper case
bubble or block letters
Step #1: Think of a word or name that is preferably 5-6 letters in
length.
Step #2: Using a ruler to divide the 12x18 sheet of paper as
described below:
* Find the ½ way point on all sides and draw a light line
* Measure on the 12 inch side and make marks at 4”
and 8”. Do this on both sides and then draw a light
line.
Step #3 – Find the center of your word. For example if your
word is ICE, then the center is the letter “C”. If your word is
FIRE, then the center is the space between the “I” and “R”.
Write the word in LIGHTLY using just LINES to get the
spacing accurate. Start in the center are work outward.
Step #4 – Turn the lines into Block letters.
Step #5 – Pick a vanishing point either above or below the
word in the center. Draw LIGHT lines from the each corner
and round edge of a letter to the vanishing point. Do not
draw lines that will intersect through the letter itself.

• Design a postcard using the perspective to
make the letters look three dimensional.
The Postcard can be from a place you have never
visited or a place you created in your head!
