Positive Impacts Of Calligraphy Designs

By Katrina Wheeler


Calligraphy designs, originally refers to lettering that is done in single strokes, using a calligraphic writing instrument, such as a modem, brush or pen-traditional. Calligraphic lettering refers to typographic art that is formed by drawing the letter forms in outline. However, lettering and calligraphy may be used to mean the same thing, especially where lettering is done in calligraphic style, and is flowing.

Several other western styles use similar tools and practices, but differ by stylistic preferences and character set. Modern designing techniques range from functional arts to fine-art products which may or may not be legible. A skilled and experienced calligrapher can always practice both non-classical hand lettering and classical calligraphic art, although the two differ greatly.

Calligraphic art is mainly used in event and wedding invitations, religious art, original-hand lettered logos, memorial documents, topography and fonts, announcements, graphics, announcements, and cut stone inscriptions. In addition, it is used to move images in film and television and images, birth and death certificates, maps, testimonials, and all forms of work that employ use of artistic writing. Charters issued by monarchs and state officers in various countries apply this art as well.

The principal tools for any calligrapher are a flat-balled or round-nibbed pen, and a brush. Pens may vary since some decorative may require pens having more than one nib and steel brushes. However, felt-tip and ballpoint pens have also been used, although the works do not employ angled lines. The ink used by these pens is often water-based and has less viscosity compared to the oil-based ink used for printing purposes.

Quality paper with excellent consistency of porosity yields cleaner lines, although parchment or vellum is often used. Light boxes and templates are used to produce straight lines without any form of detractions on the work that may arise from pencil markings. The speed, decelerations, accelerations of moves, turns, stroke order, and crotchets made by the writer greatly influence the final shape by giving spirit to the characters.

Western calligraphic designs use Latin scripts. Since the discovery of the Latin alphabet in the second century, it has made tremendous developments including Roman imperial capitals that were made of stone carvings. A new uncial script was later discovered that was used for copying several religious texts, including the Holy Bible.

The size, shape, hair type, and stretch of the ink brush, color, water density and density of the ink, as well as the water absorption rate of the paper and surface texture are main physical parameters that directly or indirectly influence the final result. The calligrapher also determines the final result by the quantity of water and ink he lets the brush take. The pressure he applies on the brush, angle of inclination of the brush, and direction he gives the brush, producing bolder or thinner strokes, and toothed or smooth borders.

Calligraphy designs have influenced most major art styles in several parts of the world. Calligraphic arts create impression that has helped many interested individuals to develop necessary skills and eventually come up with their own styles. Designs where calligraphic styles require lettering also use these two techniques together.
