In this lesson

Stroke weight, alpha and spacing: the difference between busy and beautiful. We build it live in about 11 minutes, then you change it in the Lab until it is yours.

Try this after

Change one number at a time and write down what it did. Most of the good surprises in this course come from the third or fourth change, not the first.
