Make Your Mark
Make Your Mark
Inhoud
Make Your Mark is a creative journey where you learn by doing. You start with a simple mark and build it into something that has meaning.
Across four modules, you’ll explore drawing, lettering, and visual style step by step. You’ll mess around with marks, rhythm, and repetition, then develop flow, confidence, and your own way of working. There’s no “right” style here > the focus is on experimenting, trying things out, and seeing what happens.
As you move through the course, it’s not just about how your work looks, but what it means. You’ll turn words and ideas into messages, thinking about who they’re for and where they might live. You’ll see how scale, placement, and typography can completely change how a message feels in public space.
In the final module, you bring it all together using Virtual Reality. You’ll take your sketches into VR, create immersive pieces, and place your work in a shared digital gallery. It’s a safe space to try big ideas, make mistakes, and see your work come to life.
By the end, you won’t just have learned techniques or software. You’ll have the confidence to express yourself, the skills to communicate visually, and the experience of turning ideas into work that others can see, feel, and respond to.
This is about finding your voice and giving it space to be seen.

WHAT’S YOUR MESSAGE?
This is where your work stops being just about lettering and starts becoming communication.
Inspired by the bold typographic street work of Ben Eine, this module asks you to move beyond your name and use words to say something real — an idea, a belief, a feeling. You’ll reflect on what matters to you and design a message as if it were painted large in public space.

WHAT’S YOUR MESSAGE?
This is where your work stops being just about lettering and starts becoming communication.
Inspired by the bold typographic street work of Ben Eine, this module asks you to move beyond your name and use words to say something real ; an idea, a belief, a feeling. You’ll reflect on what matters to you and design a message as if it were painted large in public space.
You will explore how typography changes meaning when it enters public space. By looking closely at three of Ben Eine’s murals, each using a different font and placed in a different location, you will examine how colour, scale, spacing, and letter weight shape mood and atmosphere. The focus is not on copying style, but on understanding how typographic choices influence how a message is felt.
You will then reflect on your own message and design a typographic piece as if it were painted large on a wall in Blackpool. This is about intention: choosing words, style, and placement that turn lettering into a statement.

To earn the Message badge, you will create a typographic artwork that communicates a clear idea or feeling in public space.
You will begin by studying three Ben Eine murals, each using a different font and location. Choose one example that has the strongest impact on you and briefly explain why — this might be the colour palette, the weight of the letters, the attitude of the word, or how it transforms the space around it.
Next, you will define your own message by answering:
What word or phrase captures your mood, belief, or message right now?
If you were to choose one Ben Eine–style font for Blackpool, which would you choose and why?
Using your chosen word or phrase, you will design a typographic piece influenced by Ben Eine’s letterforms, your own developing style, or the wild-style energy you explored in the previous module. Your design should consider scale, spacing, colour, and impact, as if it were displayed large in public.
To complete the task, submit:
Your final typographic artwork
A short reflection (up to 100 words or a 1-minute audio) responding to:
“My message is ___, and I chose this style because ___.”
This task shows your ability to move from style into meaning — using typography not just to decorate space, but to say something with purpose.
