Dear Members and Followers,
This September sees us looking at the designs of Adolf Bernd, a German born in 1909.
Fans of his designs are attracted to modern letter forms with decorative elements. He didn't use masking fluid but got a similar effect and with water colours there is a fresh result.
His three main elements in his designs are:
- Subtle colours.
- White interlinear lines.
- The patters in the surrounding areas.
