Please note: this event will be held in person.

An introduction to designing typography in the chaotic, symmetrical, (often illedgible), style of black metal logos.

After a brief look at some influences and inspiration, you'll be guided through the steps to make your own sprawling, spiky typography. Learning and breaking rules as you go.

Open to all abilities; this workshop will provide you with everything you need to create your own design (and the knowledge to make more in the future). All you need to bring is a word or two you'd like to transform.

Content warning: Some of the designs discussed may be of bands with violent themes.
