This PLUS Tutorial is filled with Great Vector Lettering Advice
In this tutorial, I will explain how to create original wire typography.

Which direction is the light source coming from?

@m,
( )No, it’s lettering, but it’s a fine example.

Is this really necessary for a plus tutorial? It’s just draw something, trace it with the pen tool, and color it in…?

thats totally awesome. or you could say radical, gnarly, tubular, and also, cowabunga.

Hey everybody. Thanks for the correction. I think “Lettering” rather than “Typography” would have been more appropriate. At this point though, it’s a bit late to change the title. I appreciate the feedback though.

@Sean,
This type of work is unfortunately underrated. I, for one, would really like to see more lettering and typography inspired tuts.
@Rodrigo,
( )I hope this is the first of many.
