Calligraphy means beautiful writing. Before the invention of the printing press, calligraphers copied whole books. They would illuminate some of the letters, decorate margins, and paint miniature illustrations to accompany the text. Calligraphy is still associated with one of a kind hand lettering. Today, designers have created for computers hundreds of different letter shapes called fonts.
Different fonts express different moods to go with the words and phrases.
You can use the font of your choice and arrange your favorite phrase in an interesting way. The arrangement is called a lay out . You can add designs to one letter to create your own illumination. You can add decorative border around the phrase. One you print it out, you can add more color and decoration and then frame it.
