Graphic design from the Victorian era (roughly 1837 to 1901) is embodied by its ornate decorative elements which seem to conflict with our more modern and restrained aesthetic.
But the craftsmanship and elegance of these designs can still provide inspiration for your own. In this short course designer Nigel French provides a historical background on Victorian type and then takes you through a step-by-step process to create a new design inspired by a nineteenth-century original. He shows how to choose period-appropriate typefaces and demonstrates Illustrator and Photoshop techniques applicable to any time frame including skewed type paths offset shadows woodcut-style shading framing devices and texture.

Thanks very much for this, but is it at all possible for you to get the exercise files that accompany this, and if it is possible to be downloadable by rapidgator?? Once again thanks!!
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
